Kickboxing

Thai Kik Jitsu

1. First you learn how to box, how to kick and then you include elbows and knees.
2. After that the element of Jiu Jitsu can be learnt and these include: trips and throws, self defence dealing with escapes grabs, strangles, being pinned on the floor, and how to apply locks and controlling techniques.
3. The final step is learning self defence against knife attacks.

The unarmed combat techniques of Thai Kik Jitsu is very effective self defence for both one-on-one and multiple opponent situations, whether being grabbed or dealing with strikes.

At TMAS we teach the following unarmed Kickboxing disciplines:

• White Collar Boxing - for beginners (no experience required)
• Non Contact Kickboxing - the only contact is on blocking
• Light Contact Kickboxing - kicks above waist, power is firm control
• K1 - full contact Kickboxing with low round kicks & knees
• Muay Thai Kickboxing - full contact with elbows, knees & clinch work

Sport sparring specifically helps you prepare for the street - if you’ve never been punched in the face it can be a big shock if it ever happens for the first time in real life. If you regularly spar you are a step closer to making a street fight easier to deal with.

We also teach Escrima (short bamboo sticks) and Nun Chuka’s fighting techniques

Please note that we pride ourselves on training hard without injury and amend the syllabus for students with an injury in order to accommodate their specific needs.

Kickboxing is suitable for ages 4 and over and our adult classes are from 12 yrs+.
