Types of Martial Arts Schools - The Full Contact School

What to Expect: These schools are just like they sound - they focus on full contact fighting in the style of UFC, Pride, K1 and other so called "no holds barred" competitions. They may teach one style or be a mixed martial arts school that teaches multiple styles. They will most likely be more focused on basics, drills and fighting combinations than forms or weapons. Expect to hear rock or rap music, the use of weights, and a majority adult male student body. These are the hard core schools.

Things to Remember: It may seem obvious, but remember that these schools are all about fighting. The training can be very strenuous. If you aren't ready to commit to getting in the ring with your classmates, then these aren't the schools to look into.
