DISCOVER MIXED MARTIAL YOGATM

The Path of the Warrior Yogi

Co-created by martial artist Jimmy Pool and yoga master Fred Busch, MMY merges the power, cardio, and precision of martial arts with the balance, meditation, and deep strength of yoga. It is the best of both worlds — cultivating resilience, inner peace, and extraordinary fitness. MMY is more than a class: it’s a system of transformation.

Mixed Martial Yoga (MMY) is not just exercise. It is a discipline — a path forged from two masters, two traditions, and one shared vision.

Born from the warrior’s arena and the yogi’s mat, MMY unites the explosive precision of Muay Thai, Tai Chi, and combat arts with the healing intelligence of Fred Busch Power Yoga.

It is strength without aggression, flexibility without fragility, discipline without rigidity. A system designed not to fight the world, but to master yourself.

Created by Jimmy Pool, champion martial artist and founder of Moving Zen in Peru, and Fred Busch, one of the world’s most innovative yoga trainers, MMY distills decades of training, competition, meditation, and healing into a practice unlike anything else.

A Complete System

Mixed Martial Yoga (MMY) fuses the best of both worlds — the expression, cardio, and explosive power of martial arts with the peace, core strength, and countless physical benefits of yoga.

It combines martial arts precision — balance, discipline, and combat awareness — with yogic intelligence — healing, breath, meditation, and alignment.

The result is a practice that trains the body for functional strength and agility, while also training the mind for focus, clarity, and stillness under stress.

MMY is not about fighting others, but about conquering yourself: a discipline that heals while it strengthens, and awakens while it empowers.

🌍 Two Worlds, One Discipline🌍

Co-created by Jimmy Pool, champion martial artist and founder of Moving Zen in Peru, and Fred Busch, innovator of Power Yoga and Yoga Therapy, MMY unites decades of training across continents. Jimmy brings the intensity, expression, and precision of Muay Thai, Tai Chi, and combat systems, while Fred integrates the healing focus, meditation, and daily discipline of authentic yoga practice.

Together, they created a discipline that delivers strength without tension, flexibility without fragility, and inner calm without passivity — a training that prepares you not just for the mat or the ring, but for life itself.
