The last private lesson of Monday evening concluded my couple client's Mixed Martial Arts Personal Training course. This particular plan has focused on shoot-boxing, which covers the stand-up to clinch range of the sport. Tonight we took the inspiration from the Jeff Chan seminar one of the pair attended two weeks ago and saw to integrate it into outside fighting.

On Monday my senior client returned to resume his latest boxing course. One of the advantages of personal training is the flexibility offered for scheduling and rescheduling. He has had a layoff for about three weeks, but came back keen to train. Today we worked on footwork.

My client began the seventh hour his Kickboxing Personal Training class. In this lesson I introduced him to the spear knee strike. This is the final weapon of his Kickboxing arsenal, as permitted in such versions of the sport as Dutch and Japanese Kickboxing. With clinch being very limited in these sports, there is a lot of skill required to land good knee strikes from the outside range.

When I first stepped onto the mat, I thought martial arts was just about learning a set of moves and techniques. But over time, I realised it’s so much more than that. It’s a journey that’s deeply personal, and that’s where tailored martial arts programmes come into play. They transform the experience from a generic class into something that truly fits your needs, goals, and lifestyle.
