- [LCPL Norris] Residents of Marine Corps Air Station

00:14.523 --> 00:16.356
Iwakuni started off their new year

00:16.356 --> 00:19.613
with the Intro to MMA class at the Ironworks gym.

00:19.613 --> 00:20.794
- One, two, one, two.

00:20.794 --> 00:22.055
- I want to make sure everybody knows

00:22.055 --> 00:25.972
it's not just a MMA fighter class, it's a mixed

00:26.241 --> 00:28.551
martial arts striking class, kickboxing,

00:28.551 --> 00:30.255
and it's a workout class.

00:30.255 --> 00:32.038
So you'll learn technique in the beginning,

00:32.038 --> 00:34.296
then we'll finish it up with a killer workout

00:34.296 --> 00:37.804
with striking, so it's just like cardio kickboxing.

00:37.804 --> 00:39.113
- [Instructor] Reset!

00:39.113 --> 00:40.759
- [LCPL Norris] Students of all experience levels

00:40.759 --> 00:42.502
attended the mixed martial arts class

00:42.502 --> 00:45.341
learning new techniques and sharpening old ones.

00:45.341 --> 00:48.424
- It's good conditioning for anybody.

00:48.780 --> 00:50.627
And I love it, I love watching it.

00:50.627 --> 00:52.716
I used to do it way back in the years,

00:52.716 --> 00:55.650
wanted to get back into it and try it out again

00:55.650 --> 00:59.744
after a few years and it's a very good experience.

00:59.744 --> 01:02.911
Even coming today, definitely love it.

01:02.926 --> 01:04.218
- [LCPL Norris] Mixed martial arts is a way

01:04.218 --> 01:06.788
to get in shape and learn self defense.
