This is a group that will provide helpful tips on improving aspects of your stand up game. Chats on discussions on boxing, kickboxing, and Muay Thai techniques will be coming soon...Learn from the coach that has been instrumental in the training of numerous state champs in the stand up game!
This group was created for the Movement of martial arts into the New Era. The Movement is not only the progression of the arts but also the quality of human. Most of the world we live in today is lost in the darkness. Some would rather buy material things then a TICKET to support their neighbor.
These athletes have one of the most demanding professions in the world, they don't get paid for training and sometimes a mans dreams will get broken along with their face. The Movement isn't just about promoting wellness and protecting the arts, it's about the condition of humanity. Pay your fellow man a compliment, why not? It doesn't cost you anything and it will go along way with not only the non believers but also inspire that individual to be confident in all affairs.
Barter, one man's chore is another mans passion. You maybe suprised at how much your knowledge can assist someone in saving time and money.
Coach, encourage and motivate anyone on a mission to achieve something they are striving for.
This Movement could have been started anywhere but it was started here and what better community for it to be dropped in, the most amiable of societies, martial arts. The only community that can muster enough self discipline too carry out the tasks in order to advance.
This is why MMA Melee is providing the kingdom of martial arts with a divine home. It's about respect. We are seeking individuals that share the same respect and willingness to assist others.
