Mixed Martial Arts

Addiction professionals have overwhelmingly come forward in support of martial arts as a valuable tool for treating addiction. For this reason and based on our own experience, you will have the opportunity to participate in regular mixed martial arts (MMA) training classes.

MMA is hybrid of karate, grappling, wrestling, Tang Soo Do, boxing, jujitsu, Tae Kwon Do and others. It is a very effective method for dismantling compulsive behaviors and triggers, regaining physical health, achieving self–confidence, and learning physical and mental self–control. It takes you on a journey of self-knowledge and awareness leading to a better understanding of the space you occupy and how to make the most of it.

Taught by Chris Watson, a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, you will learn to be more alert, allowing you to anticipate, be decisive, and take positive actions which will help you to shape and determine your own destiny.  Healing body, mind and spirit through martial arts in recovery at Turning Point.
