The devil is in the details. There is a huge difference between a pad holder and a coach. Anyone can make you tired or teach you a pattern, but can you replicate it under pressure against a resisting opponent? Everyone knows the same tools and lots of people can teach you how, but real coaches can teach you why. This is what we do.

Here's a quick Barbell Complex with Coach Jason Salazar to push your metabolic and strength rate. There are many different ways to improve your stength and work capacity. Enjoy!! #THEARENA #BUILT #BARBELLCOMPLEX #STRENGTH #COACHJASON

We're all walking different paths. Coach Charles Martinez discusses how everyone we interact with on this martial arts journey has different goals and motivations.

Leading into the new year we will all grow and get stronger together. #THEARENA #MOTIVATION #MINDSET #GOALS #THINKDIFFERENT #BUILDTHEMUP

Defense wins fights. Although offense gets all the glory, often good defense creates the openings for the offense. No cardio boxing classes! #THEARENA #BOXING #COACHJOEVARGAS #WEBUILDFIGHTERS #SWEETSCIENCE #SLIPANDRIP

If you understand movement you can see the beauty and application of all martial arts. Here is Coach Chuck (@coachchuckmma) demonstrating how simple movements from Wing Chun can be seen in modern day combat sports. Learn from everything and absorb what is useful. #THEARENA #COMBATSPORTS #BARETSUBMISSIONS #WEBUILDFIGHTERS #TRAINHARD #VINCEEVERSINCE #COACHCHUCKMMA #WINGCHUN #MMA #KICKBOXING

"Knowing is not enough, we must apply. Willing is not enough, we must do." Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Often quoted by Bruce Lee about martial arts learning. You must learn, but you must also apply and get uncomfortable. Sparring is a reminder that there are negative consequences to making mistakes here. #THEARENA #MUAYTHAI #SPARRING #FRIDAYDEATHMATCHES #COACHJAMES #SHORTSHORTS

Here’s Coach Vince Salvador (@vinceeversince) with a Tip of the Week on using the heavy bag to reinforce getting offline after you throw punches. Not all reps are built the same, reinforce effective movements with perfect practice. #THEARENAMMA #COACHVINCEEVERSINCE #KICKBOXING #MOVEYOURFEET #DANCE #WEBUILDFIGHTERS

There is a level of precision that can be obtained through rigorous repetition and analysis of movement. Just because we do the same thing does not mean we are the same. #THEARENA #PRECISION #ZACHTENORIO #CONSTANTREFINEMENT #COMBATSPORTS #WEBUILDFIGHTERS #VINCEEVERSINCE

Huge Congrats to Liz Carmouche @iamgirlrilla on her dominant win in her @bellatormma debut. Arena MMA coaches @coachchuckmma and @vinceeversince couldn’t be happier with her performance. On to the next one in search of the belt. #THEARENA #COMBATSPORTS #BARETSUBMISSIONS #WEBUILDFIGHTERS #TRAINHARD #BUILT... #VINCEEVERSINCE #COACHCHUCKMMA See more

Here's some technical drilling with MMA fighter Liz Carmouche before her last fight. There are many stages of learning technique, none can be skipped. Professional fighters still shadowbox and work their Jab, professional basketball players still take free throws, professional baseball players still take ground balls. Don't cheat the process, learn right, you will fall to the level of your training under pressure. #THEARENA #WEBUILDFIGHTERS #KICKBOXING #MMA #DRILLERSAREKILLERS #TRUSTTHEPROCESS

Never forgotten, 9/11/01. Civilian, Law Enforcement, and first responders lost their lives. That day we were all one, all our differences went away, and we mourned together. We will never forget.

Success is not about a fleeting moment of accomplishment, it’s about the repetitive action of striving to better yourself while others stay complacent. Stay on the path and eventually your hard work will surpass those not willing to keep up. #THEARENA #COMBATSPORTS #BARETSUBMISSIONS #WEBUILDFIGHTERS #TRAINHARD #BUILT #BOXING... #MMA #KICKBOXING #MUAYTHAI #JIUJITSU See more

Enjoy! #THEARENA #NINJAPRINCESS #COMBATSPORTS #WEBUILDFIGHTERS #TRAINHARD #VINCEEVERSINCE #COACHCHUCKMMA #COACHJOEVARGAS #COACHBASHEERABDULLAH #BOXING #KICKBOXING #MUAYTHAI

The details are what make the difference. Our classes and fighter development are always focused on the finer points. Just because we do the same thing, doesn't mean we are the same. #THEARENAGYM #ARENAMMA #KICKBOXING #MMASTRIKING #WEBUILDFIGHTERS #DIGTHEBODY #SETUPS #TRAPS
