Class: Combat Conditioning
Instructor: Eric Henning
Price:
$50
Offered:
Always
|
Description:
Combat conditioning.This class will focus primarily on martial arts combat for stand up to take down. There will be sparring in every class as we adopt the ideology that one can not perfect martial arts skill without practical use. At the same time it is a strong belief of mine that body conditioning is one of the most important factors in hand to hand combat. This includes strength, speed, stamina and flexibility. Therefore, each class will focus on training each of these aspects of body conditioning. Secondly, we will also train various attacks, counter attacks and methods of defense ranging from basic to advanced levels of combinations using punches, kicks, knees, throws / take downs, etc. This class will not focus on BJJ style submissions and/or ground fighting. Lastly, this class with emphasize practical application of learned techniques and training a calm fighting mind through one on one sparring sessions in each class. All skill levels of martial artists are invited to join if you are of the mind that you are looking to learn and train with other eager martial artists. This is not a place for people to come and flex their egos. If you are a martial artist that loves combat, loves to stay in shape and loves to train or if you have limited martial arts experience and want to begin learning in a practical learning environment then this is the class for you.
