Classes
At Chandler MMA, our classes are a part of our development programs, with goals beyond simply mastering techniques. Active participation in at least two classes per week per style is necessary in order to improve skills and progress through curriculum.
Our class age ranges are not firm, but representative of what typically works well. But, each student is different. We always work with students and families to find the right fit for students, based on their physical ability, size, interest, maturity, and developmental needs.
Most of our programs utilize belts and stripes to measure and reward progress.
