Back in early 2018, I just moved to Sonora and being a flat-lander my whole life, I was incredibly bored and lonesome. One can only go to pinecrest so many times). I had some prior martial arts training, but never really put it all together into MMA training.
Each time I drove down Washington, I would eye Sonora MMA and tell myself "I'll give it a shot oneday." Eventually, one day came and it was probably the best thing I did since moving to Sonora.
Mike and Elisha are the managers and they are some of the nicest, most down to earth people you can come across. They do their best to keep the facility clean, safe, and cool. The team that trains here is non-judgmental, accepting, and occupied with the goal of improving their skills.
Here is the sample schedule:
Monday: either Judo or Jiujutsu, but usually jiujutsu.
Tuesday: Striking with an emphasis on conditioning
Wednesday, the owner, Tom Theofanopolous, teaches a world- level jiujutsu class that is really invaluable. The last 15-30 minutes of class is reserved for live rolling
Thursday: Striking with the last 30-20 minutes reserved for live sparring.
