  • BJJ, Muay Thai or MMA? Where to Start in Keller

    BJJ, Muay Thai or MMA? Where to Start in Keller

    Thinking about martial arts in Keller but not sure which class to try first? Here is a simple guide to the three main adult programs at Peak Performance MMA. What is the difference between BJJ, Muay Thai and MMA? Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is grappling. You learn to control a partner, escape bad positions and finish with joint locks and chokes, mostly on the mat. There is no punching or kicking. Muay Thai is stand-up striking. You learn punches, kicks, knees and elbows, mostly on pads with a partner and a coach. MMA (mixed martial arts) puts striking and grappling together. Our MMA team is coached by two former UFC fighters, James Vick and Victor Altamirano. Which one should I start ....

  • Gratitude on the Mat: Thankful Kids in Keller

    Gratitude on the Mat: Thankful Kids in Keller

    In our Keller kids classes at Peak Performance MMA, November's life skill is gratitude. We practice saying thank you the same way we practice a kick or a grip: on purpose, every week. What does gratitude look like on the mat? Our November focus is simple: thank your partner, thank your coach, and thank your family. After drills, kids learn to look a partner in the eye and say thanks. That small habit builds respect, kindness and awareness of the people who help them grow. Gratitude is not only for Thanksgiving week. It is a skill we practice all month, so it sticks when life gets busy. How can parents practice gratitude at home? Kids remember what they rehearse. Try these with your ....

  • Courage to Speak Up: Helping Kids Handle Bullies

    Courage to Speak Up: Helping Kids Handle Bullies

    All month, kids in our Keller classes at Peak Performance MMA have been working on courage. As October wraps up, we want to talk about one of the hardest kinds of courage for a child: speaking up. What does courage look like when someone is unkind? Our October motto is "Brave isn't never being scared. It's trying anyway." When another kid is teasing, pushing or leaving someone out, the brave choice usually isn't fighting back. It's standing tall, using a strong voice and getting help from a trusted adult. That can feel scary, especially for a quiet child. That is exactly why it takes courage, and why it helps to practice before it ever happens. How can parents help kids practice ....

  • Courage for Parents: Trying Your First Adult Class

    Courage for Parents: Trying Your First Adult Class

    If you have ever watched your child train at Peak Performance MMA in Keller and thought, "I'd love to try that, but I'm not ready," this post is for you. This month our kids are working on courage. Our October motto is "Brave isn't never being scared. It's trying anyway." That idea works for grown-ups too. Why does trying a first class feel so hard? Walking into a gym where everyone seems to know what they're doing is uncomfortable. Most adults worry about being out of shape, being too old, or looking silly. Our founder, Coach Paul Halme, likes to say he was one of the worst white belts on Earth. He started training in 1997 and went on to win an MMA title and a Masters BJJ World ....

Peak Performance MMA Facebook five star review - Ezra Christensen

Ezra Christensen

Peak has a great atmosphere full of wonderful teammates. No matter what your current fitness level and goals are, you will have support for your work and progress. I've been going to Peak, on and off, for 7 years. The on times make all of life night-and-day better than the off times. I've taken BJJ, Muay Thai, and fitness classes; you can't go wrong. Highly recommended - come see for yourself.
