Since civilizations earliest
beginnings every culture utilized a system martial
art. These systems were used in defense of self,
family, property, village, monarchy, or in the
conquest of the same. Each possessing it's own
unique philosophy or style, they were passed down
from generation to generation, teacher to student,
until one day they would come to be known by various
names. These names were generally given to reflect
the culture, the creator, the master teacher, the
way it was used, or another nostalgic influence.
Over the years cultures came together through
migration, trade, commerce, and conquest. With this
blending of the cultures came a blending of the
arts. Throughout time, the martial arts have
evolved. What is unique to our time is the amount of
knowledge one can learn if they are willing. Today
we call this blending MMA. In fact the mixing
of arts has always existed and will continue to
exist as long as knowledge is passed down for
generation to generation, teacher to student. MMA is
not something new. What is different about MMA is
that the martial arts have returned to their roots.
MMA students learn how to use what you know in a
real fight. Training MMA is not about demonstration
or showmanship, it is about application. Simply put
being able to fight to defend yourself. This is the
heart of our programs. The Academy

Providing a child martial arts training is an
investment in their future. The martial arts
differ from recreational sports or activities in
that it is personal. When taught in the
appropriate manner the martial arts forms a
foundation of physical activity, instills mental
discipline, provides a sense of accomplishment,
gives a way of self improvement, and teaches
self defense. The skills and traits children
acquire through the martial arts will benefit
them for the rest of their lives. From the
television to the play station, the internet,
and X box, children are far less active. In
order to develop properly children must have
physical activity. They must learn not to just
watch it, but to live it; not to just play it,
but to become it; not to just download it, but
to experience it. Little Dragons provides
children all this and more. |

The Martial Arts begin with
conditioning! Many people put off
training or don't get involved
because they believe they must be in
shape in order to participate. This
assumption is wrong! Training in the
martial arts is getting into shape;
it is staying in shape, and living a
healthy lifestyle. At this academy
you don't need to be the next
hardcore ultimate fighter in order
to train MMA. We understand you
need to get up and go to work the
next morning. This is why our
program teaches MMA in a manner
appropriate for all |

‘To Be or Want to Be’ If your goal is to not just
watch it but to live it, then show up and train.
The name of the Fight Team is "The Crucible". The
term signifies a severe trail or test. A crucible is
a place were molten metal collects to begin its
journey, it's transformation into steel. This is
the warriors way - for all battles are won before
they begin. Within the “Crucible” team
members undergo extensive Mixed Martial Arts
training. Rigorous in our approach, training is
physically, mentally, and emotionally demanding. The
fighters’ bodies must be hardened, the mind
tempered, until the desire to win burns inside.
While some claim to be it, we teach it. While you
watch it, We train it. While others dream of it, We
live it. |

Combat is
not about
tapping
someone out,
it is about
taking them
out. Simply
put, the
purpose of
combat is to
kill the
enemy as
quickly and
efficiently
as possible. Hopefully most will never
experience a
combat
environment,
unfortunately
some of us
have and
some are today. |
