YCP MMA CLUB
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q1
Do you do actual MMA, like on TV?
No, we do not practice the "cage fighting" type style that most people see on television. We are strictly a Mixed Martial Arts Club where people from all different Martial Arts styles come together to teach.
Q2
Is it dangerous?
Just like any sport, Martial Arts can be dangerous. However, we take many precautions to prevent any type of injury. We have club gear that any member of the club is welcome to use while at club meetings, which are disinfected between uses. Also, if anyone wants to spar, we require that you wear a mouthgard, headgear, and any other gear that your partner is wearing (i.e. if they are wearing shin pads you must also wear shin pads).
Q3
Do I need experience?
No, you do not need any experience. About half of our members and even some people on our Executive Board have never had any experience before. There are many members that have a lot of experience and they enjoy teaching everyone with little to no experience.
Q4
How often do you meet?
We meet 3 times a week, Monday from 8:30pm - 10:30pm, Wednesday from 7:30pm - 9:30pm, and Friday from 7pm - 9pm. Our club operates on a "come as often as you would llike for as long as you would like" policy (i.e. if you can only come on Mondays for an hour we would still love for you to come).
Q5
Can I bring my own gear?
Yes, if you have your own gear you are more than welcome to bring it. We do have "club gear" that any club member is welcome to use. Club gear is disinfected between uses.
