FightResource.com is a privately owned website that lists Martial Arts schools and fight gyms across the United States, that teach legitimate Mixed Martial Arts techniques, or teach styles that incorporate techniques that are frequently used in MMA.
For example, Muay Thai schools are listed, as Muay Thai techniques are frequently used in MMA contests. Conversely, Tai Chi techniques are not used in MMA, and so Tai Chi schools are not listed here. The main thing distinguishing a listed school from an unlisted school is “real resistance” or more bluntly put, real fighting.
If during live training, the head instructor at your school lets out a giant chi-scream and all the students fall down, it probably won’t be listed here. FightResource.com reserves the right to deny any school a listing on FightResource.com for any reason.
