pre dominantly a ground fighting art focussing on submission
holds with joint-locks and chokeholds. The premise is that a
smaller and weaker person is able to overcome larger and
stronger opponents whose advantages are neutralised against
a jiu jitsu exponent when grappling on the ground. Brazilian
Jiu Jitsu is an efficient self-defence and an extraordinary
way of exercising while developing a wide range of qualities
such as: humility, discipline, respect, self-esteem,
concentration, body awareness and balance.

Muay Thai - Thai boxing

Muay
Thai (Thai Boxing) can trace it's origins 2,000 years ago to
the ancient and nomadic tribes that wandered through Central
and South-East Asia.
Eventually they settled in the part of the world known now
as Thailand and, being forced to defend themselves against
their neighbours, developed a system of warfare which
included Krabi-Krabong (traditional weapons) and Muay Chao
Chur from which the sport of Muay Thai later evolved.
Both systems of combat proved effective in countless
battles. During the periods of peace the soldiers would
fight for sport, and it was from this era that the modern
sport of Muay Thai evolved. Muay Thai is world-renowned for
its simplicity and devastating effectiveness. The art dubbed
'the science of eight limbs' for its amazing use of hands,
legs, knees and elbows. The Muay Thai practitioner has a
wide varirty of effective techniques superior speed and
conditioning, all gained through hard training. The classes
will incorporate technique drills, bag and pad work,
sparring (separate classes) as well as fitness and
conditioning.

Children's Kickboxing
and Martial Arts Concepts (from 5 years upwards) |
|
|
We
take children into this class from the age of 5. We teach
children completely differently to our adults, not just in
our approach but also in our syllabus.
Instead of just teaching them one aspect of the martial
arts, we introduce our children to a syllabus that covers
the basics of several arts, including Boxing (Keeping their
hands up, footwork and of course punching), Kickboxing (For
kicking and foot and hand combinations) and Brazilian Jui
Jitsu (for escapes from the ground to allow them to get back
to their feet). The reason we teach in this way is so when
they get older, they will have enough information and skills
to enable them to make an informed choice to how they wish
to proceed.
Children's Kickboxing and Martial Arts Concepts is a martial
arts program specifically designed for children. This
program focuses on improving your child's skills in focus,
control, balance, teamwork, memory, discipline, coordination
and awareness.
The classes are designed to set the basics for later
training as the children progress to the next level, Maybe
into Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Thai Boxing, Boxing or a
combination of these. Your Child is taken through a varied
syllabus of techniques. We have found this a fantastic for
teaching your child the basic practical martial arts skills
at this age.
And lets not forget this is a children's class, children
need more of the instructors time so we have two instructors
on the mats and the classes are designed to be fun and we
always play games at the end!
