Kickboxing – Body Punching
This week in kickboxing, we look at the art of attacking the body. Learning how to properly punch your opponent’s midsection can add a new level to your offense! We will work on level changes, setting up the body shots, and proper follow ups after we land a devastating body punch.
Muay Thai – Knees (Khao)
This week in Muay Thai, we will be focusing on the knees (Khao, in Thai) as our main weapon! Specifically focusing on the “long knee” and how we can use it against punching. We will also look at setting it up offensively with our own boxing and using our “march” to get in to knee range.

Thoughts – Cleanliness
It is very important to make sure that we are all taking our cleanliness seriously. Make sure you are showering after training and washing and cleaning your equipment: gis, boxing gloves, shin pads etc. Not only is personal hygiene important for our health and the health of those around us, but it is also a matter of being considerate. Do not be the person that no one wants to train with.
