UFC 141 comes to you live on a rare Friday night from the MGM Grand Garden Arena on December 30, and it’s a big one. Two of the biggest competitors in UFC heavyweight history will step in the Octagon to determine the next challenger for champion Junior dos Santos when former UFC champion Brock Lesnar meets former Strikeforce champion Alistair Overeem. It’s a classic striker vs. grappler battle: can Lesnar get Overeem to the mat before Overeem’s far-superior striking skills finish the fight? UFC 141 also features two exciting top lightweight contenders when the surging Donald Cerrone takes on Stockton bad boy Nate Diaz. Top welterweight contender Jon Fitch also faces tough prospect Johny Hendricks.

The Arena MMA is not your typical corporate gym that provides fitness classes first and martial arts classes second.  Mixed martial arts are what we do!  We are a smaller, yet well-equipped school (competition MMA and Boxing ring, cage, dedicated grappling area, multiple heavy and specialty bags, showers, etc.) focusing on providing high quality training.  We work with fighters who want a private training environment and students who want the benefits that our classes can provide, including increased confidence, coordination, and health.

For Professional Fighters, we have The Arena Team, one of the fastest growing and most successful MMA teams in the U.S. Practices are at 3 pm M-F. Get in touch if you want a great group of Pros to work with.

BOXING/ JIU JITSU/ MMA/ MUAY THAI/ WRESTLING

At The Arena, we don’t offer “Cardio” classes. We leave that to the corporate gyms. Instead, we focus on teaching SKILLS while still giving our students a great workout in the process. Also, unlike other San Diego gyms that only teach Boxing, Kickboxing or Jiu Jitsu, we are a REAL MMA GYM, which is why the best fighters in the world train with us.

If you don’t have any martial arts experience, no problem. We have outstanding instructors who will get you going immediately! So if you’re looking to get away from “fitness” gyms and want the best training possible in a friendly, non-corporate environment, we’re your place.

Bottom line…if you’re looking for THE BEST Boxing, MMA, Muay Thai / Kickboxing, No Gi Jiu Jitsu (Submission Grappling) and Wrestling training gym in San Diego, you found it. Come by and decide for yourself.

UFC Title contender and Superstar, Hermes Franca, has worked with Charleston Krav Maga to form the Charleston Combat Club and Charleston Combat Team. Owner Matt Robinson, is currently training under Mr. Franca to bring true MMA and the most well rounded program to the Charleston area—the only certified, and longest-running, system of mixed martial arts. While mixed martial arts was initially practiced almost exclusively by competitive fighters, this is no longer the case. As the sport has become more mainstream and more widely taught, it has become accessible to wider range of practitioners of all ages.

A typical session of MMA training will consist of a combination of cardio vascular conditioning, Jiu Jitsu, and stand up fighting. Classes continually work at developing the most well rounded fighter and athlete. Mixed Martial Arts training will benefit everyone, from the full contact fighter who wishes to step into the ring, to the person who wants to get into shape fast and have a great time doing it.

We are home to the Charleston Combat Team, lead by Trainer/Coach Matt Robinson in affiliation with American Fighter, and consisting of an elite group of fighters from the Charleston Combat Club. Founded in June 2007, our team focuses on the arts of Brazilian Jiu Jistu, Muay Thai Kickboxing, and Wrestling.

About Our Program

The founder of Team Balance Pittsburgh is Bobby Palumbi with head instructor Jimmy Cerra (Now a Brown Belt). Bobby and Jimmy are both competitive athletes who enjoy teaching and competing as much as possible. As a Team Balance affiliate, we can trace our jiu-jitsu instruction lineage through Rick Macauley and Phil Migliarese to Relson Gracie, son of Hélio Gracie. We are committed to providing the best training environment for our students.

About Team Balance

Team Balance is widely regarded as one of the elite martial arts schools in the world. Currently representing nearly 30 affiliates world-wide, the ever-growing network consists of 4,000 students, all of whom have been carefully selected through limited enrollment to represent the team. The exclusivity of membership fosters a familial environment that is unrivaled amongst competitors, and much sought out by those eager to learn from the best. Team Balance fighters run the gamut from average enthusiasts to world champion jiu jitsu competitors; some are professional fighters who have fought in esteemed mixed martial arts competitions like the UFC, while others have represented Team Balance at the prestigious ADCC championships.

What to expect at a typical class

Our general class structure begins with a brief warm-up consisting mostly of functional exercises. Then we proceed to practice 2-4 techniques in depth. We will often practice these skills slowly at first with progressively more active and realistic drills later. While repetition is important to develop proper technique, we provide variability over the week in order to prevent monotony. We may study a technique then later try it against a resisting partner during a positional drill.

We conclude every class with several rounds of live sparring called rolling. Trying out what you learn in class against resistive partners is an important part of jiu-jitsu. The intensity can vary from just 50% to 100%. We may start rolling from a neutral standing posture, from the ground, or from a certain position or situation. The key to rolling is to relax and having fun. Stiff or jerky movements can lead to injuries and bad technique. Flowing with your partner helps you to see open opportunities that you can exploit. Jiu jitsu is a chess match and should be trained with an attentive mind.

Some classes require a uniform called a gi. Other classes simply need comfortable clothing suitable for vigorous exercise. Jiu-jitsu is a great way to get or stay in shape and to release stress. Jiu-jitsu requires commitment and tenacity to reach the next level. It is up to you how far you really want to take your jiu-jitsu experience!

Team Balance Pittsburgh is currently located at Pittsburgh Yoseikan Academy inside the Parkway Center Mall in Green Tree.
