A Message From

Professor Billy Hendricks

 

Are you really serious about learning Mixed Martial Arts and becoming mentally and physically fit?  Do you deserve the best?

 

I know, choosing the right school can be overwhelming, but please, before coming to the Pancrase Academy, I urge you to visit as many of those other "schools" as possible and try their classes. Only then will you be able to see what sets us apart from the rest.

 

We offer serious students an opportunity to progress faster in a learning friendly environment.  Our classes are sized limited which means each student receives constant one-on-one interaction with the instructor. 

 

If you have questions or would like to schedule a free introductory session, call me personally at (720)-988-8088.

 

I look forward to helping you achieve your goals.

Q: How much do your classes cost?

 

A: Do you want the BEST or is your search for a MMA school focused only on finding the cheapest place to train?

 

Like most things in life, you only get what you pay for. Think about it, just like doctors, lawyers, and other skilled professionals, not all MMA instructors are equal. The recent UFC craze has attracted a wave of new,"wannabee" MMA instructors  Most of these guys have no real credentials and many have questionable backgrounds. Unfortunately, their main goal is making a quick buck at your expense............BEWARE!

 

Get your priorities straight.  Find the best quality instruction you can, then find a way to pay for it.  I know, the economy is bad and money is tight, but there is a way. Stop drinking so much beer, cut back on movies, expensive restaurants, night clubs, etc., you get the idea. Now is the time to finally make your commitment to a healthy lifestyle.  Once you do, you will never regret it and you will never go back.

 

*The cost of our group classes depends on two factors, how often you plan to attend, and if you are serious and willing to challenge yourself with a long-term commitment to training and personal growth.

 

*For the serious student, those willing to make a real commitment to their training, we offer special training plans. This is definitely the most cost effective way to learn martial arts.  We have 3, 6, and 12-month plans. Make monthly payments or pay all at once for an additional 10% discount.

 

Please, stop by the Academy and let's discuss your goals and how to achieve them at the lowest cost possible.

History of PANCRASE

"The Father of Mixed Martial Arts"

 The origin of UFC-type Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) dates back to the ancient Greek Olympic games. First introduced in 648 B.C. at the 33rd Olympiad, a form of free-style martial arts called Pancration (Pancrase) would soon become the most popular and demanding of all athletic sports. Olympic Pancration integrated every physical and mental resource; hands and feet, mind and spirit, in the closest simulation of competitive fighting that any culture has ever allowed. It was considered the ultimate Olympic sport for over a thousand years. 


However, it was more than just a sport. Called by Philostratos the "Worthiest ontest in the Olympiads and the most important preparation for warriors", Pancration was the martial training of the Greek and Spartan armies and was taken to India with the legions of Alexander the Great, where it became the accepted ancestor of the oriental martial arts.

Today, Pancrase MMA is experiencing a worldwide re-birth with an increasing number of martial artists and athletes being drawn to the ancient "King of Olympic Sports".  Pancrase MMA is the ultimate martial art of modern times.
