In most of our martial art classes there is some sort of sparring or low-medium intensity drilling. We do not permit any sparring without a coach present. NMMATC has rules in regards to sparring and the coach is responsible to oversee and enforce the rules to help ensure everyone's safety. Safety gear is required based on the class. We encourage everyone to pay attention to their surroundings and to speak up if you are feeling uncomfortable. Communicate with your training partners and coaches if you feel someone is performing with too much power or they are acting careless on the mat. We want everyone in our gym to be challenged but safety comes first! Communicate your needs and take your training partners' needs into consideration.
* We have live rolling rounds in every level in our grappling programs, but we do not have sparring in ANY of our fundamental striking classes. 1504 Elm Hill Pike, Nashville, Tennessee 37210
