ABQ KICKBOXING & MIXED MARTIAL ARTS © 2007- 2008

PROGRAMS DESCRIPTIONS

REAL KICKBOXING (RKB): CONDITIONING WORKOUT

The Real Kickboxing classes focus on bag work, conditioning and getting a great workout.  The difference between the Bag Workout and the Striking class is the level of technique that is taught.  In the Bag Workout you will learn the basic kicks and punches, but it will not go further in-depth than the basics.  This class focuses on repetition and endurance, where the Striking class focuses on skills.  This in combination with the Striking class is the magic of stand-up striking skills.  Without the repetition and workout of the Bag Workout classes you can only progress so far, without the technique of the Striking classes you won’t get the proper speed, power and distancing that is required for a good kickboxer.  The two classes together; unstoppable!

WOMEN’S REAL KICKBOXING (RKB): CONDITIONING WORKOUT (These classes are exactly the same as regular RKB Classes)

MMA STRIKING

In the technique, or Striking, classes you’ll learn proper technique step by step.  This class is a combination of Muay Thai, Boxing, Savate, and Jun Fan Kickboxing.  At a beginning level, you’ll learn the stance, footwork, body mechanics, basic punches and kicks, basic elbow and knee strikes, basic clinching and combinations.  You’ll also learn simple, practical, and easy to learn defenses that will work against any type of strike.  You’ll work with a partner on equipment including focus mitts, Thai pads and kicking shields.  This will help your accuracy and timing.  At an intermediate level, you’ll learn more advanced boxing, kicking, elbow and knee strikes, defense, combinations, clinching, sparring drills and basic self- defense.  At an advanced level, you’ll learn advanced techniques and strategies for in and out of the ring including counter-punching, free-sparing, competition training and advanced self-defense application.  You can become certified in our mixed Striking class as well as in Muay Thai.

MMA GRAPPLING

With the recent popularity of the UFC it seems everyone is learning ground fighting or grappling.  Our Grappling classes are a combination of Greco, Collegiate and Freestyle Wrestling. Ground submissions are from Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, Filipino Dumog, Shooto and European Catch Wrestling. All classes are no-gi with an emphasis on technique and controlling your opponent.  You will learn takedowns, sweeps, clinching, pummeling, position control and transition, chokes, joint locks and a variety of submissions.  Whether your aim is solid street defense, competition or just a phenomenal workout, our Grappling classes will get you there.

MUAY THAI (*Traditional music & ritual respects movements will be honored in this class)

Known as the king of the ring, Thai Boxing is the national sport of Thailand. Thai Boxing or Muay Thai includes kicking and punching as well as devastating elbow and knee strikes. For this reason, Muay Thai is sometimes called the science of the eight limbs.

ABQ Kickboxing provides the finest Muay Thai training in Bernalillo County. Whether your goal is to compete, to gain some practical self-defense skills, to become an instructor in Muay Thai, or just to become fit, ABQ Kickboxing can help you to reach your goals.

FILIPINO MARTIAL ARTS (*Traditional aspects of the Filipino Arts & Cultures will be taught in this class)

The FMA class is a blend of weapon and empty hand fighting skills.  In this class you will learn offensive and defensive maneuvers with the stick, sword, dagger and empty hand.  Everything from basic striking patterns with the stick, to advance strips and joint locks are taught with and without the weapons.  You will learn how to flow from one attack to the next seamlessly and without interruption.

JUN FAN MARTIAL ARTS - JEET KUNE DO (*Traditional aspects that pertain to Jun Fan arts will be taught in this class)
Jeet Kune Do, or "The Way of the Intercepting Fist", as it translates, is the set of principles and training methodology developed by Bruce Lee. JKD is not a set style, but a conceptual attempt of self-expression through martial arts. Students will express themselves as individuals, capitalizing on their natural attributes and developing new ones.

This concept of self-expression is achieved through the Jun Fan Gung Fu curriculum. At ABQ Kickboxing, we teach the original JKD philosophies and Jun Fan curriculum as passed down from Sifu Dan Inosanto, Bruce Lee's training partner, friend, and the person he chose to carry on the art. Jun Fan Gung Fu is the collection of physical techniques developed by Bruce Lee in his personal research of the martial arts.

The Jun Fan curriculum emphasizes economy of motion in four basic ranges of combat: kicking, punching, and trapping (hand immobilization) and grappling (ground fighting). Regardless of the range, students will learn to defend and quickly remove themselves from a confrontation if necessary.

COMPETITION TEAM: HARDCORE CONDITIONING This Program mixes every form of training available.  No two sessions are the same during the program.  This program is unlike anything else out there.  There is only one level for this program: INTENSE!!  Some of the types of techniques used during the program will be "Strong Man Training", Anaerobic Threshold Training, High Intensity Training, Traditional Power lifting, Muay Thai,  Grappling & MMA Sparring to mention only a few.

Hardcore Conditioning is the most intense form of training that ABQKB & MMA offers.  It is designed to make the athletes work harder than they thought they could possibly work.  It is not uncommon for participants to feel weak and nauseated while going through this program.  This is not for the faint of heart.
