Striking Fundamentals: The Core of Stand-Up Combat

Our Striking Fundamentals program is a comprehensive introduction to the world’s most effective stand-up martial arts. By integrating the technical precision of Boxing, the agility of Kickboxing, and the powerful "Art of Eight Limbs" from Muay Thai, this class provides a well-rounded foundation for athletes of all levels.

What You Will Learn
Whether you are training for fitness or looking to build a competitive edge, our curriculum focuses on the essential mechanics of combat:

Offensive Mastery: Develop proper form and power for punches, kicks, knees, and elbows.

Defensive Strategy: Master the art of the block, parry, and head movement to neutralize incoming attacks.

Footwork & Positioning: Learn the foundational stances and movement patterns required to control the distance and angle of any encounter.

Interactive & Dynamic Training
Striking is about more than just hitting a target; it’s about timing, rhythm, and coordination. Our classes emphasize practical, hands-on experience through:

Technical Pad Work: Learn the vital skill of holding and hitting Thai pads and focus mitts with a partner to build real-world combinations.

Bag Conditioning: Utilize a variety of specialized gym bags to develop striking power, endurance, and bone conditioning.

Controlled Environment: We prioritize a safe learning atmosphere. While we encourage growth, all sparring is strictly regulated and must be approved by the Instructor to ensure every student progresses at a safe and appropriate pace.
