Partner Sparring with Grappling Technique

Techniques are practiced, individually, with partners, using specialized equipment, (Focus Pads, Kick Shields, Forearm pads, Belly pads).

The goal is to make it fluent and balanced with the ability to throw any "weapon" in the right situation.

Basic strategies are kicking techniques for a long range distance, punching for mid range, elbows for close range and knees and grappling when "very close".

Training revolves around set training drills and combinations, followed by pad work and light sparring.

Students work with their partners developing timing, rhythm, balance, co-ordination and distance, which are all needed to allow for the effective application of techniques.

GRADE LEVELS

CONNELL MUAY THAI provides students with a system to learn self defense applications combined with fitness/sporting components.

Our Muay Thai syllabus includes a grading system to distinguish the progression of skill level attained by the individual.

This grading system gives the student feedback on their progress and development while also providing them achievable, incremental goals.

Grading is optional but most students like the challenge.

“FIGHTING FIT " a term we love to use...

Fight fitness is a combination of the following:

STRENGTH

SPEED

The ability to rapidly bridge the gap between one’s self and opponent e.g. using footwork, punching, or kicking. This will be developed through pad & bag routine drills

POWER (AKA explosive strength)

A combination of strength and speed developed through pad and bag routine drills.
