This program is centered around the striking art of Muay Thai but also uses techniques from Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Bruce Lee’s Jeet Kune Do, Escrima (Filipino Martial Arts), and “Street Tactics”.  Muay Thai, translated into English as Thai Kickboxing, is the national sport of Thailand and originated in the ancient battlefield tactics of the Thai army.  Thai Boxing matches allow the use of punches, kicks, elbows, knees, and stand-up grappling.  Thai training methods develop devastating power, speed, and superb cardiovascular endurance in a safe setting, thanks to the use of sophisticated pad training methods.

Escrima refers to a class of Filipino Martial Arts that emphasize offensive and defensive techniques using a sitck and/or blade.  In the Philippines, with limited time to teach flashy and intricate techniques, only skills that were proven effective in battle and could easily be taught were used.  It is those techniques and skills that we teach as well.
