Try a Kickboxing Or A Thai 1 Boxing Class
Muay Thai is the Art of 8 Limbs (two fists, two knees, two elbows, two legs)...Thai Boxers use every weapon the human body has to offer. Whether its punches, kicks, knees, elbows, or the clinch our members are taught how to seamlessly flow between different strikes. Muay Thai is the most complete striking system on the planet. It is aggressive in nature and every strike is meant to inflict some type of damage to their opponets. Thai Fighters are supremely proficient and can quickly determine what strikes to throw based on the range and distance to their target.
This class is a Muay Thai fundamentals for beginners to advance. We focus on punches, kicks, knees, and elbows. Basic foundations are explored and practiced. Footwork, developing combinations through pad work, learning movements, cardiovascular endurance, distance management, speed and beginner defensive strategies are all taught in this class. There is little to no contact in all of the Thai 1 classes. This is our most popular class at FightCamp.
Our Thai 2 class is the next evolution of our program at FightCamp. Here we utlize drills against each other in a combative Muay Thai style. Light controlled contact is employed and implemented. Minimum weighted boxing gloves, Muay Thai shin guards, mouthpiece, athletic cup are required for all Thai 2 classes. After members reach specific levels, Elbow Pads are allowed in class. This is where we start with clinch introduction, clinch movements, and sweeps. All drills are done on a partner in a completely controlled scenario. More complex fundamentals are learned and implemented in a safe guarded atmosphere. Counter-fighting techniques are empolyed at this stage and reflexes and speed are enchanced through drills.
