The Vellave Fighter Club: A Thriving Martial Arts Hub in Sainte-Sigolène

Like the UFC PARIS, the Vellave Fighter Club fills up in Sainte-Sigolène.

The acronym “MMA” which designates Mixed Martial Arts in English is a three-dimensional combat sport which brings together techniques from many Martial Arts and combat sports (judo, Brazilian jiu jitsu, boxing, karate) to form a singular discipline with its own specificities.

A complete sport

“A complete sport, MMA therefore incorporates percussion techniques (foot, fist, knees and elbow in professional) standing but also on the ground (we speak of ground and pound). We also find projection and sweeping techniques as well as submissions (joint locks, strangulation, etc.) Prejudices and stereotypes are forgotten! Boxing does not rhyme with injuries and blows: it is an activity with multiple virtues whose physical and emotional benefits, whatever the age or sex, develop together to become a virtuous circle on a daily basis”, assures coach Richard Dumas.

8-14 year olds have lessons on Tuesday and Friday from 6.00 p.m. to 7.00 p.m. and practitioners aged 15 and over on Tuesday and Thursday from 7.00 p.m. to 8.30 p.m. Classes are mixed.

For women

Still in the boxing section, for the female public who wishes to reap all the benefits of boxing without the “manly” side of the activity, cardio boxing classes are given on Mondays from 8:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. and on Fridays from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. “Enough to refine your silhouette, take care of your health, assert your personality.”

judo too

Historically linked to the creation of the club in 1976, judo is still strongly anchored within the club with a baby judo section for 4 and 5 year olds on Wednesday afternoons from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m.; a section for 6-8 year olds on Wednesday and Friday from 5.00 to 6.00 p.m. For older children (9-14 years old), lessons take place on Mondays and Wednesdays from 6.00 p.m. to 7.00 p.m. “Fun and easily accessible, judo develops motor skills and flexibility, channels overflowing energies, teaches perseverance and to respect the rules, allows stress management…”

Self defense

Increasingly popular, self-defense is aimed at adolescents (+ 15 years old) and adults who wish to learn how to defend themselves, find simple and effective protection mechanisms. Putting in place protective reflexes, dealing with an altercation or aggression, responding to malevolence or violence, are all themes that are discussed on Monday and Wednesday from 7.00 p.m. to 8.30 p.m. Classes are mixed and open to everyone regardless of physical condition.

A welcome every day at the dojo

The Vellave Fighter Club, one of the oldest clubs in Sainte-Sigolène, welcomes every day in the municipal dojo: a weight room is available to licensees either for physical preparation or for additional muscle maintenance.

At the dawn of its fiftieth anniversary, the club should create, this season, the event: a training course is in the pipes and it should be directed by a French world champion. Case to follow.
