Mixed Martial Arts(MMA)

MMA is a term used for no-holds-barred, full contact, combat sport that allows a wide variety of fighting techniques, from a mixture of martial arts traditions and non-traditions, to be used in competitions. The rules allow the use of striking and grappling techniques, both while standing and on the ground. Such competitions allow martial artists of different backgrounds to compete.

Muay Thai/Kickboxing

Muay Thai is referred to as "The Art of the Eight Limbs", as the hands, shins, elbows, and knees are all used extesively in this art. FSA/Team Tabuso brand of this art was developed from an ode to the traditional aspects of the art as well as an ongoing adaptation to the modern striking combat arts. As athletics continue to grow and get better, we make sure that the training is performed at a level above the rest.

Our instructors have years of martial arts and ring experience to ensure sport-specific training and safety. Mark Tabuso, head coach, is a former multi-federation champion. Coupled with Kinesiology degree and Physical Education experience, he continues to build top quality athletes and champions.

"We use the most modern methods of training with old school work ethic."

Kids' Class

Our kids classes involve an innovative approach toward developing strong and healthy kids knowledgeable in multiple martial arts. Our classes incorporate Muay Thai Kickboxing, Submission Grappling, and fitness, something which is lacking for the children in today’s society.

This comprehensive program is not offered anywhere else in the bay area. Our fitness classes will focus on strength, power, balance, speed, reaction time, agility, endurance, and coordination.

FSA's kids program will ultimately complement the basic foundation principles of the martial arts: courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control, and indomitable spirit.
