Võimla is mostly focused on teaching adults – we offer classes for beginners and more advanced fighters, including competitors. If you have no previous experience with combat sports – we welcome you to our basic courses!
These courses are best for getting to know the sports: we have a friendly atmosphere, experienced coaches and fun training sessions!
Grappling is a full-contact combat sport where the fight has been taken to the ground. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) focuses solely on the techniques of ground-fighting but these elements are also widely used in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). In the beginners’ course for grappling you will learn how to achieve control over your opponents and how to submit them using chokes and joint locks. You will learn to escape from bad positions and to get into better, more dominant positions. Grappling is also useful for self-defense skills.
In the beginners’ course for striking you will learn the basics of boxing, kick-boxing, and Muay Thai with the emphasis on using these skills in MMA. You will learn correct techniques for kicks and punches as well as proper defense techniques and in addition you will be introduced to the clinch distance.
Each training session is 90 minutes long and begins with a general warm-up led by the coach. Most of the training time is used to learn and practice new skills as well as tying these skills with previously taught techniques. Training sessions include a lot of drills and sparring and are quite active.
The best option is to wear clothes designed for MMA – a rashguard and some grappling tights, but you can wear regular work-out clothes as well as shorts and a T-shirt. Your clothing cannot have any hard detailing such as zippers and buttons. Training is done barefoot, flip-flops are mandatory for walking outside the mat area.
That is exactly what our beginners’ courses are for so don’t worry! Naturally we also welcome people with previous fight sports experience but it is not expected of you.
Of course! Everyone who wants to train with us is welcome. The intensity of the clasess is largely adaptable and you can adjust training according to your capabilities. If you have any doubts about your health please do consult your physician before starting training.
P.S. Beginners’ courses are for participants over the age of 15 (included). Underage trainees need a signed agreement from their parent or guardian which we will send you via e-mail.
For the grappling course only a mouthguard is mandatory, a cup is optional for men.
For the striking course you’ll need a mouthguard, 12-14oz boxing gloves and hand wraps, a cup is optional for men. The cost of mouth guards is about 10€, the same for the cup and about 45€ for boxing gloves. The equipment is necessary from the third week of the course.
During the first weeks of the courses we will order necessary equipment for all those who wish but you are welcome to use any equipment you already own or wish to buy by yourself.
Even though the impression of combat sports can be more violent and dangerous they are as safe as any other sports. Our trainers pay attention to the safety and well-being of all participants and we have taken this into account when deciding the size of the groups.
Absolutely not. We do support anyone who has the desire to compete but most of the people who train with us do not compete.
The official language for the training sessions is Estonian but we do welcome all foreigners. All our coaches speak English and some of them speak Russian and are happy to explain everything in a different language as well.

We do have a family discount – the second family member pays only 50% of the fee during the period that two family members are training in Võimla. The discount applies to spouse/partner, parents-children and siblings.
We have set our timetable in a way to make this possible but we do advise to think carefully before registering for both courses – you’ll need to be in a good physical shape and have enough free time and willpower. If you have any doubts we recommend focusing on one course at a time.
This is usually not a problem. We keep practicing techniques and repeating the information throughout the course and the coaches are always happy to help you when you are feeling overwhelmed.
The graduates are welcomed to our advanced groups!
You need to attend at least 2/3 of the trainings. If you have more absences it is possible to organize a private training with your coach to catch up. Finishing the beginners’ course successfully is a prerequisite for attending the more advanced training groups.
