You're thinking like a skilled martial artist, not a general consumer. It would be wrong for me to advertise being a MMA school or teaching MMA if I'm not pushing cage fighting or what the general consumer thinks MMA is which is basically what they see on TV.

I'm not doing that. I plan on using mantis handwork and traps. Sometimes there will be weapons and self defense. These aren't things that belong in a MMA gym and they're not for people who are motivated to do what they see on TV. I prefer to think of it as blending traditional arts with the traditional training methods and techniques. Yes there will be plenty of Randori and controlled sparring. But it's not UFC--- it's not MMA style.
