Muay Thai - Karate - Boxing
My vision is to create the ultimate standup training environment for MMA fighters.
What do you need to start? Just hand wraps gloves and workout clothes. The boxing classes are done with shoes on and the Muay Thai is barefoot.
Come 10 minutes early to class if possible having your hands wrapped. Start doing your warm up and stretching exercises. Classes are like mini seminars with a different focus each class. Categories of training are for example; Stretching Flexibility and Warm Ups, Punching & Kicking basic form, Heavy bag drills, how to hold Thai Pads and focus mitts, Boxing Defense drills, Muay Thai Defend and Counter Drills, Shadow Boxing and Footwork, Power Shield Drills, Body toning Calisthenics, Cardio Strength and Conditioning for Fighters and more...
Basic training
To develop proper Muay Thai techniques it is necessary that one must be prepared for rigorous conditioning of the body. Conditioning with strict attention to proper technique is the key. Consistent training is necessary to toughen muscles bones and connective tissue as well as for developing endurance and efficient technique. This is done with a variety of different exercises. The basics start with: Muay Thai flexibility, balance and coordination exercises. Then drilling proper Muay Thai techniques with shadow boxing, and heavy bag work. Advanced Muay Thai training includes: Thai pad mitt work, focus mitts, power shield, neck wrestling,
attack and counter attack sparring drills (A.R.I.T.) jump rope, roadwork, and finally free sparring. See videos below.
Attack Response Impact Training is a phrase I coined used to describe the core type of training that I do for fighters based upon the Mejiro Gym "Dutch style" Muay Thai system. It is designed to develop your ability to attack defend and counter attack as powerfully and effectively as possible. I first began doing "Full Contact Karate" with Benny "The Jet" Urquidez who was by far the greatest full contact karate fighter of his era in the late 70's through 80's. Here are some highlights.
