Muay Thai Itinerary... Day 3 (Oct 9th)

Okay folks, we had our fun with there upper body... but lets face it. If you wanted to study a fighting style sans the kicks you would have gone with dirty boxing a la Brad Pitts character in "Snatch". This week, We're getting your Kicks and Knees Down.

Muay Thai is a fairly simple art form as far a movements go. Most of the arts complication comes from attack and defense strategy in more advance levels... The kick, is the most important and most complicated of these movements... We will break down the physiology of the kick in to four step so you understand it in detail.

You will learn how the knee draws power from the ground to inflict the same damage as a 40 mpg car collision.

Your class this night will be lead by active MMA fighter and long time teacher, Sensei Mike "Joey" O'Laskey.

Muay Thai Kickboxing Itinerary Day 2! (Tuesday Oct.7th)

First off, Lets take a moment to congratulate friend of the school and Head Chef of Cena at the Chateau Chris Wellmon for his excellent first round victory in the cage... His opponent was nearly half his age!

 

But you don't have to walk through the threshold of the cage to be a Martial Artist, or to even want to study kickboxing! Muay Thai trains the Body and Keeps the mind sharp, And your second class in your free month will show you just that!

Building on the basic principles we learned last week we are going to build some punch and elbow combos... Working on technique and timing as well as lightening fast speed. Make sure you bring some water to this class. Because after a quick warm up review of the punches from last week... You will be right on the pads!

These combos will range in numbers from 3 counts all the way up to 8 counts. What you will find within these combos is not only a good work out, but because the distance varies between movements, you will be working on your body movement a bit more. We call this "Closing the Distance" and its a concept you will become very familiar with by the end of this session.

The great thing about Muay Thai... Is every hour you do it, You are burning nearly 800 calories... That is more than an hour on the treadmill... and you learn the very skills that have helped me and other fighters around the world... win in MMA cages!

Your homework this week, will be to Shadow Box the combos that we did in class... If it is difficult to remember... Ask on our Facebook wall! We'd Be happy to remind you!
