I specialise in the following areas: -

Kick

& Thai

boxing

Good for all ages and abilities.

 

Kick / Thai boxing is a very well respected martial art known all over the world.

 

Mixed martial arts (MMA) is becoming more popular with increased TV coverage e.g.  UFC and Cage fighting.

 

Kick / Thai boxing does not have to be used in a competitive way, some people just want to learn MMA in order to feel more confident knowing that they have learnt a form of self defence.

 

The difference between Kick  and Thai boxing is that when ...

  • Kick boxing you are only allowed  to kick and punch above the waist.

  • Thai boxing you are allowed to kick from the shin up, punch from the waist up (same as Kick boxing) and also use clinches, knees and elbows.

 

Body and mind conditioning is a must for these martial art disciplines, achieved by a lot of body weight  press ups, torso raises, dips, cardiovascular and other  exercises.

Weight

loss

During these sessions you will always be moving, using high repetitions and low weights.

 

Your heart rate and temperature will increase and you will sweat a lot.

 

Example of a normal session: -

  • 5-10 minutes warm up

  • 30-40 minutes exercise

  • 5-10 minutes cool down

  • 5-10 minutes stretch

 

All exercises will be tailored to your ability and I will never push you over your comfort zone.

Toning

up

A good technique for this goal is  “Super setting” which basically means once we have finished working one part of the body we will go straight onto another part of the body e.g. triceps (back of the arm) for 12 to 15 repetitions immediately followed by biceps again for 12 to 15 repetitions . Make sure that between numbers 12 -15 for each exercise that you get a small burning sensation in that area otherwise this will not work!

 

This is one of many training methods I use for toning up, see my weight training tips page for a brief description of a few other methods.

Muscular

gain

On average 8 out of 10 men ask for muscular gain's, typically a big chest and big arms. However, some women ask for this too.

 

This is most easily achieved in a gym as you need to be lifting a weight heavy enough for that particular muscle group to reach "Failure" between 8-12 repetitions (where you literally can not move the weight anymore)
