MARTIAL ARTS PHILOSOPHY

THE PRINCIPLES OF MUAY THAI x k1 KICKBOXING INSTILL CHARACTER TRAITS THAT TRANSFORM US, THAT SHAPE OUR WORLDVIEW. IT GUIDES US IN HOW WE CONDUCT OURSELVES, REGARDLESS OF OUR CIRCUMSTANCES; IN HOW WE INTERACT WITH OTHERS THROUGH THE MANY DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES THAT WE FACE EVERY DAY.

OUR STUDENTS LEARN TECHNIQUES, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, THEY ARE GIVEN PRICELESS OPPORTUNITIES TO REFINE THEIR CHARACTER. WHEN THEY TASTE BOTH SUCCESS AND FRUSTRATION, VICTORY AND DEFEAT, THEY WILL NEED TO MAKE DECISIONS THAT FORM THE CORE OF WHO THEY ARE. THEY WILL LEARN HOW TO CELEBRATE THEIR HARD-WORKED ACCOMPLISHMENTS, HOW TO BE JOYFUL AND PROUD FOR THEIR VICTORY, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, BEING HUMBLE, SHOWING RESPECT, AND GRACE TOWARDS THEIR TEAMMATE OR OPPONENT. THROUGH FRUSTRATION AND DEFEAT, THEY LEARN TO BECOME OVERCOMERS, EMBRACING THE NEVER-QUIT MENTALITY, DEVELOPING A RESILIENT SPIRIT THAT WILL EMPOWER THEM THROUGHOUT THEIR LIFE.

IT’S THROUGH THIS PROCESS, OF BUILDING UP WITH DAILY SMALL IMPROVEMENTS, THAT YOU BECOME A MARTIAL ARTIST ON AND OFF THE MATS.



Technical Study and Application

THROUGH THIS COMPONENT, WHILE LEARNING TECHNIQUES AND APPLYING THEM IN DRILLING AND SPARRING, STUDENTS FIND THEMSELVES IN SCENARIOS THAT PUSH THEM TO DEVELOP THEIR PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL, SOCIAL, AND COGNITIVE SKILLS.


OUR CLASSES ARE VERY DYNAMIC. WITH CONSISTENCY AND FOCUS, YOU WILL BECOME MORE PHYSICALLY FIT. THE RESULTS WILL IMPACT YOUR WHOLE BEING, MAKING YOU EVEN MORE AWARE OF YOUR DAILY CHOICES AND HOW THEY IMPACT YOUR WELLNESS. BECOMING HEALTHIER IS A NEVER-ENDING GOAL.


EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT ENABLES US TO MANAGE OUR OWN EMOTIONS AND UNDERSTAND THE EMOTIONS OF OTHERS, WHICH IS CRITICAL IN ACHIEVING SUCCESS IN MANY AREAS OF LIFE.


THE ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE EFFECTIVELY WITH OTHERS IS A CORE SOCIAL SKILL. IF YOU HAVE STRONG COMMUNICATION SKILLS, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS AND IDEAS CLEARLY WITH OTHERS. EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATORS MAKE GOOD LEADERS.

COGNITIVE SKILLS ARE SKILLS OF THE MIND,


AS OPPOSED TO OTHER TYPES OF SKILLS SUCH AS MOTOR SKILLS. THEY ARE THE FUNCTIONS YOUR BRAIN USES TO THINK, PAY ATTENTION, PROCESS INFORMATION, PROBLEM-SOLVE, AND REMEMBER THINGS. THEY ARE EMPLOYED BY YOUR BRAIN TO INCREASE ITS OVERALL PERFORMANCE.


IT’S ALSO THROUGH THIS COMPONENT, BY HAVING AN UNDERSTANDING OF AND ABILITY TO APPLY THE MARTIAL ART, THAT STUDENTS DEVELOP THEIR SELF-DEFENSE CAPABILITY.


COMPETITON

WHETHER THROUGH TOURNAMENTS OR DURING TRAINING IN THE ACADEMY, STUDENTS CAN IMMERSE THEMSELVES IN A COMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENT.


COMPETITION ENHANCES PERFORMANCE. YOU WILL BE CHALLENGED AND SUPPORTED AT THE SAME TIME. IT IS BEYOND THE COMFORT ZONE THAT GROWTH TRULY HAPPENS. THIS HOLDS TRUE FOR EVERY FACET OF LIFE. IT’S WHERE YOU MUST SEARCH WITHIN, CONFRONT YOUR FEARS AND INSECURITIES; ONLY THEN CAN YOU BUILD A STRONG, CONFIDENT, AND COURAGEOUS SELF.


MUAY THAI

MUAY THAI, KNOWN AS THE “ART OF EIGHT LIMBS,” IS A DYNAMIC AND POWERFUL MARTIAL ART THAT UTILISES PUNCHES, KICKS, ELBOWS, AND KNEE STRIKES. 


MORE THAN JUST A SPORT, IT IS A DISCIPLINE THAT BUILDS STRENGTH, ENDURANCE, AND MENTAL RESILIENCE.


WHETHER YOU'RE LOOKING FOR SELF-DEFENSE, FITNESS, OR COMPETITIVE FIGHTING, MUAY THAI OFFERS A FULL-BODY WORKOUT THAT SHARPENS YOUR REFLEXES AND ENHANCES YOUR CONFIDENCE.

K-1 KICKBOXING

K1 KICKBOXING OR DUTCH KICKBOXING, UNLIKE AMERICAN KICKBOXING, INCORPORATES TECHNIQUES FROM THREE MARTIAL ARTS: KYOKUSHIN KARATE, WESTERN BOXING, AND MUAY THAI.


ATHLETES SCHOOLED IN THE MARTIAL ART OF THE NETHERLANDS USE KYOKUSHIN-STYLE KICKS TO THE LEGS, HEAD, AND BODY TO ATTACK THEIR OPPONENTS. 


THIS DIFFERS FROM THE WESTERN VARIANT, WHERE KICKBOXERS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO KICK BELOW THE WAIST.

WHY COMBINE?

COMBINING MUAY THAI AND K-1 KICKBOXING OFFERS OUR STUDENTS THE MOST EFFICIENT AND COMPLETE TRAINING IN STRIKING.


THIS COMBINATION GIVES FIGHTERS THE TOOLS TO DOMINATE IN THE RING, WHILE ALSO IMPROVING THEIR FITNESS, FOOTWORK, AND STRATEGIC THINKING. 


BY LEARNING BOTH STYLES, STUDENTS ARE NOT ONLY MORE PREPARED FOR COMPETITION BUT ALSO EQUIPPED TO HANDLE ANY SITUATION THAT ARISES DURING A FIGHT. THIS DIVERSE TRAINING SYSTEM IS THE KEY TO BECOMING A WELL-ROUNDED, SUCCESSFUL STRIKER IN COMBAT SPORTS.

FIGHTERS CAN SEAMLESSLY ADAPT TO ANY SITUATION IN THE RING, WHETHER THEY NEED TO CLOSE THE DISTANCE AND CLINCH OR CREATE DISTANCE AND STRIKE FROM THE OUTSIDE.
