Twin Dragon Mindful Martial Arts - MMA

awareness of one’s mental state within the present moment while accepting one's feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations. We use what we know about the body’s neurobiological makeup to help achieve mindfulness with our students. We at Twin Dragon MMA believe this approach is paramount to the successful practice of martial arts and is quite practical when applied to life outside the dojo as well. We believe martial arts can be a family affair and run our program keeping that concept close to heart. Craig and Mike Sosebee are the founders of Twin Dragon MMA and co-directors of our martial arts program. They are brothers who started martial arts training with the Police Athletic League over 20+ years ago. They want to give back to the community that helped them focus on martial arts instead of possible pitfalls that young at-risk children are often exposed to. Their father, James Sosebee, an MS and professor in Neuroscience, Anatomy, Applied Science, Physiology as well as a Mindfulness Facilitator from UCLA Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior is the director for the Quiet Mind Institute and director of our mindfulness-based curriculum at Twin Dragons MMA. The program mainly focuses on the traditional Korean style of martial arts known as Tang Soo Do which translates to Art of the Knife Hand. However, for the best-integrated approach, we also infuse Sport Karate, Olympic Style Taekwondo sparring, Jiujitsu into our program as well. We teach sparring, forms, self-defense, grappling, and weapons and ensure that our students develop the necessary skills not only to help create their best selves but also so that they are performing at the highest pinnacle of understanding and competition ranging from local, regional, national and international stages. WE HIGHLY ENCOURAGE FAMILY PARTICIPATION, because as the saying goes it does "Take a village". So Come alone or bring your entire family and come check out Twin Dragon MMA and start working toward a healthy, strong, compassion-filled, and mindful experience today!
