Updates on Shaheen MMA Academy – Synergy Fitness

Posted on: August 26th, 2010 by admin 1 Comment

It has been three months since Shaheen MMA Academy has been up in running in Lahore, Pakistan. As Pakistan’s first dedicated MMA gym, Shaheen MMA Academy has gotten a good response regarding the training given at the gym.  Students get to learn a variety of fighting styles that cover all areas of combat, giving Shaheen MMA students a more versatile fighting approach than is available in other Martial Arts clubs in Lahore. A focus on live training and drilling speeds up the learning process and locks in the techniques presented into the students muscle memory making it a natural reaction to use a technique in a given situation be it in the ring or on the street.

After Ramadan, Shaheen MMA Academy will begin expanding it’s classes to include a beginners class in which new students will learn the fundamental techniques required to join the regular classes. This new beginners class will best prepare new students to easily transition into training with more experienced Mixed Martial Artists.
Another addition is the scheduling of a permanent full time Junior Shaheen MMA class. Shaheen Mixed Martial Arts held a three month summer camp that turned out to be a huge success, with parents calling for a permanent class for their kids. Junior Shaheen MMA students learn the same skills as the adult classes but a in a full, cheerful environment more suited towards children with a stronger emphasis on character building and personal discipline.

And finally Shaheen MMA Academy will be holding weekly street self defense classes that will confront some of the current threats that Pakistani’s today face such as robbery, terrorism and kidnapping. The self defense classes are a month long after which participants will be certified in basic street self defense. These classes are to be held every Saturday from 1-3 pm and will start after Ramadan.

Shaheen MMA Academy has already a number of competition and will continue to do so in the future. These are small competitions designed to give Shaheen MMA students real time experience in MMA competition without the pressure of a large event.

For more information on Shaheen MMA Academy, please visit the website or call 0334 413 7706.

An update – Shaheen MMA Academy is now Synergy Fitness Club home of Team Shaheen. Synegy Fitness is bigger and better than Shaheen with more programs and more focus on fitness and casual learners of MMA and martial arts. For more information please check out Synergy Fitness in Lahore

Posted on: May 27th, 2010 by admin 2 Comments

The kids are getting out of school and they will be free for the next few months. Now is the time that parents and students themselves decide to enroll their children or themselves into a healthy activity that will keep them busy and possibly enrich them with some new skills or knowledge. For this reason Summer Camps have become popular amongst those who can afford them as an enlightened and modern way to have your children spend the summer as opposed to getting fat and lazy at home watching TV.

For those in the Lahore area a Children’s Fun and Fitness Summer camp is to be set up at Synergy Mixed Martial Arts Academy in Defence, Lahore. The summer camp will cover the basics of Mixed Martial Arts, to include, boxing, wrestling, kick boxing and jiu jitsu. Majority of the class is conducted in English so it is a good opportunity for your children to improve their language skills.

It is advised that those who are in Lahore for the summer take advantage of this opportunity while seats last. The timings for the summer camp will be fro 3 to 4:30 pm Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays. Synergy MMA Academy is the top choice for a Martial Arts camp as it is the only facility of it’s kind in Pakistan and perfect for children as it is in a pleasant environment, in a padded area for your children’s safety.

Mixed Martial Arts Pakistan got to attend and cover the Shaheen Smoker at Shaheen MMA and Elite Fitness Academy in Defence Lahore. The fights were between members of Shaheen MMA and Haidery Karate Club who train in Kung Fu under grandmaster Khalil Ahmad. The fights were very competitive but it was Shaheen Academy’s knowledge of ground fighting which led them to victory in 6 fights and draws in 2. They suffered no losses despite having less experience and time training in the martial arts. Regardless Khalil Ahmad’s students showed tremendous will and heart and refused to give up til the last breath. With some education regarding some of the different facets of no holds barred fighting, this gym can become a contender on the Pakistani MMA scene.

In other news, Shaheen Academy is now fully functional and running. Construction is 95% done and we will have a video out for you soon, showing you the effort put into Shaheen Academy, which shows as it is a wonderful looking, training center.

We know that it has been a long time since we first announced Fite Selektor (in fact it was 6 months ago) and we appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding. We all know the unreliability of almost everything in Pakistan and it shows the great faith Pakistani MMA fans have in this organization for staying with us while we wait for Fite Selektor to finally come to fruition.

Finally, the next upcoming MMA event PWC II will be taking place in Islamabad next month. We will announce details as they arrive. We are currently looking for sponsors for the event so that we may guarantee a good show that is entertaining and beneficial to the fighters that compete in it.
