Hybrid Gym

Gym

Purpose:

The Hybrid Gym exists to promote Mixed Martial Arts in the Southern Indiana area, using coaches versed in ground fighting and stand-up.

History:

Having trained in a variety of fighting styles, competed in numerous full contact competitions and coaching experience in some Cincinnati gyms has enabled me to build an experience based coaching style. I use what works, and is effective in mixed martial arts and self defense in general.

I started this gym to provide a place where people could learn mma/self defense in a casual, yet disciplined atmosphere. The goal is not just to create better fighters, but better individuals who not only know how to fight but more importantly, when to fight.  The flag is to remind practitioners to be wise as a serpent, and harmless as a dove.

 

 

I recollected that her eye excelled in brightness, that of any other animal, and that she has no eye-lids—She may therefore be esteemed an emblem of vigilance.—She never begins an attack, nor, when once engaged, ever surrenders: She is therefore an emblem of magnanimity and true courage.—As if anxious to prevent all pretensions of quarreling with her, the weapons with which nature has furnished her, she conceals in the roof of her mouth, so that, to those who are unacquainted with her, she appears to be a most defenseless animal; and even when those weapons are shewn and extended for her defense, they appear weak and contemptible; but their wounds however small, are decisive and fatal:—Conscious of this, she never wounds till she has generously given notice, even to her enemy, and cautioned him against the danger of treading on her.—Was I wrong, Sir, in thinking this a strong picture of the temper and conduct of America?
