The staff at total MMA studios would like to announce the open gym, open mat and open ring (Friday Sparring) features. These features will be available to all our members regardless of experience as it is designed to help members improve their techniques. The concept has been so successful with our jiu-jitsu program that we would like to extend it to our kickboxing and Muay Thai members as well.

Friday Sparring
For our MMA, Muay Thai, and Boxing students we will have an open ring class for sparring only on Fridays at 1:00pm. This class will make use of the cage and ring and will feature open sparring for any advanced students that are given the approval by our coaching staff.

Open Mat
Another class already available is our open mat class, this class for all our BTT Orange County and Wrestling students. This class also features time for both techniques and rolling but the rolling will only be offered to advanced members once approved by our coaching staff. These classes will be available Saturdays and Sundays from 11am – 1pm.

Open Gym
To go along with these classes the open gym feature will offer members the use of the facility anytime from open to close. Whether you want to work on the heavy bags, hit pads, drill techniques from any and all classes offered, the gym will be open for you. The only difference with the open gym feature is there can be no, sparring or rolling during these times, that is only reserved for the Open-Mat and Open-Ring (Friday Sparring) features.

Gym Hours
Monday 7:00am to 9:00pm
Tuesday 9:00am to 9:00pm
Wednesday 7:00am to 9:00pm
Thursday 9:00am to 9:00pm
Friday 7:00am to 8:00pm
Saturday 9:00am to 2:00pm

The Total MMA Studios team is excited to add these classes to our schedule and we look forward to seeing our members improve on the mat

Former WEC middleweight champion, Paulo Filho decided to go to a different direction and rethink about his career. After a lousy presentation on his last fight against Norman Paraisy, at X-Combat’s GP, Paulo became friends and since then he’s been living on a farm in Campos dos Goytacazes, Rio de Janeiro.

Supported by a team which has a nutritionist, physical trainer and psychiatrist, Paulo is training hard close to the green, just like he likes it. The athlete will fight MMA again on September 14th, when he meets the Olympic Judo fighter Satoshi Ishi, in Manaus, and ten days later he guaranteed to be ready to fight the -88kg division in ADCC. Paulo knows he lost his credibility, but guaranteed it’ll worth it. Check below the interview about how Paulo Filho is living his lify, the analysis the fighter did about his last defeat and why he decided to stay ‘isolated’ in a farm, among many other subjects.

We’ve heard you’ve been training in Campos…

It’s true, I’m getting the support of the guys here. I’m in a farm, I’m training with Leandro Ribeiro, who’s my Jiu-Jitsu instructor, and my master Rodrigo Riscado, who’s also helping me a lot. Geraldo Pudim (Campos’ Government Secretary) is helping me too, in terms of gym, structure and even financially. I’m in a nice farm in Pedra Negra, just taking care of myself.

How are the trainings and your conditioning?

It’s all fight, thanks’ God. I’m trying to do my physical trainings with Flavio, who’s a super decathlon athlete, I’m doing a strong work with him in the mornings. At night I’m training Submission and striking with my coach Leandro.

Why did you decide to isolate and go to Campos?

Actually, the destiny has brought me here. A bad result in my life brought something so good to me. When I came to fight here in Campos I’ve met really nice people, great friends, who are doing much for me and not expecting to get anything in return. They’re doing this because they liked me, for love, for liking the sport and admiring what I’ve done in MMA. They got touched by my bad presentation, since I didn’t do a good job.
