The third hour of my teenage client’s Kickboxing course introduced round kicks to sparring. We worked through several exercises that built up his confidence to defend and deliver this technique before integrating them into sparring. The round kick introduced in this kickboxing course is principally the Thai style in the beginner course, although other variations are introduced in more advanced, later courses.

The third hour of my client’s first Muay Thai Personal Training course continued our work in the clinch. Our lesson integrated all the main knee strikes from the previous classes: spear knees, curve knees and introduced the horizontal knee. I also worked more on other arm positions in the clinch, such as the body locks.
