This class focuses on Muay Thai kickboxing, but also places a
strong emphasis on improving the techniques that form the
foundation for our Krav Maga and MMA systems.
Muay Thai is known for its extreme conditioning. The classes
normally begin with an intense warm up which include jumping rope,
shadow boxing and other bodyweight exercises.
Thai Pad, focus mitt work and drilling with a partner follows to
develop coordination with power, timing and speed. The offensive
techniques that are drilled include punches, kicks, knees and
elbows both outside and inside the clinch. We cover the basics of
impact, movement, and body positioning, then delve into more
sophisticated combination attacks and defenses. We also spend time
perfecting defensive covers, movement, and counters. You will also
learn how to hold the various types of pads utilized in most of the
classes, and how to be a good partner when working with other
students.
This class is perfect for everyone as beginners gain their core
technical fighting knowledge while more experienced students can
really hone their skill set and learn more advanced techniques.
