Kickboxing Classes

Ring Sports practices a style of Kickboxing perfected and made popular in Thailand. Although closely associated with Muay Thai, Eurasian Kickboxing does not include the traditional ceremonial rituals performed by Muay Thai fighters prior to competition.

Eurasian Kickboxing incorporates the use of powerful low kicks, knee & elbow strikes and punching to form a simple and extremely effective method of "stand up" fighting. This training style has been adopted by the vast majority of today's No Holds Barred fighters.

Basic Kickboxing

Basic Kickboxing begins with the concept of using the legs for both blocking and attacking. Combining the motion of kicking with stepping should become so fluid that a kick becomes a step, and a step can become a kick. The student learns that the 'strike zone' of awareness in both offense and defense is from the ground up, and above the belt.

Students practice kicks, punches, knee & elbow combinations in choreographed routines designed to prepare them for a smooth transition into the intermediate level.

Classes incorporate conditioning of the lower back, the oblique stomach muscles and gluts to insure proper kicking technique as well as safety. Use of kicking shields and heavy bags are introduced to prime students for more advanced training.

Intermediate Kickboxing

After memorizing arm and leg kick/punch combinations and blocks, students transition into applying offensive techniques on kicking shields, and begin learning correct use of 'Thai Pad's.

Next, the students simulate sparring with a partner as they practice kicks and punches, using light to medium contact.

As intermediate students approach the advanced level, the use of upper body grappling, knees & elbows are included in the mix.

Advanced Kickboxing

Once a student makes it to the advanced level they are expected to have a firm grasp of beginning and intermediate material and be comfortable with a moderate to heavy level of contact. Sparring drills are designed to simulate free sparring as closely as possible while operating in a controlled fashion. Students are encouraged to practice with an intensity comparable to the full contact or competition level. When a student is comfortable with advanced drills and has demonstrated proficiency they may then request the privilege of participating in competition or free-style sparring.
