My client from Cotswold Karate School has been taking several months of Muay Thai cross-training lessons. The aim has not been to replace karate with kickboxing. The aim has been to use kickboxing and Muay Thai as attribute training, so certain ideas already present in karate can become more alive under pressure.

Teaching martial arts is a continuous journey of growth, not just for students but for instructors as well. As a martial arts teacher, you know the value of expanding your skill set to offer richer, more effective training to your students. One way I have seen this happen firsthand is through martial arts teacher training that incorporates techniques from different disciplines.
