As I previously discussed in this particular kickboxing personal training course, these lessons can be used as a bridge between Boxing and Muay Thai. My new client, now on his fourth lesson with me, came from several months of Boxing personal training and was keen to explore kickboxing. He may choose to stick with this particular combat sport. However, the way I developed this course was as a means for training the out-boxing side of Muay Thai. This is because the art of blending boxing with kicks (and knees) is an art unto itself, and a lot of Muay Thai is based around the importance of the clinch. The result is a martial art course that is aligned with Dutch Kickboxing and Japanese Kickboxing (hybrid combat sports that began with Kyokushin Karate and fused Muay Thai with Boxing) and can serve as an art in its own right.
Today's lesson worked further on the better blending of kicks with Boxing. We began with 2-minute rounds:
Teep exchange drill
Right leg low round kicks exchange drill
Left leg low round kicks exchange drill
Both legs body round kicks exchange drill
Straight punches and teeps sparring
Teeps versus round kicks sparring
Punch-kick combination exchange
All of the above emphasized fluid and consistent kick exchanging, prompting faster decision-making and problem-solving.
We then switched to three-minute rounds:
Boxing with low kicks sparring
Kickboxing sparring - all punches and kicks permitted
Heavy bag teeps - First minute technical straight punching with teeps; second minute balance and teep, changing legs at the 30-second mark; third minute power teeps
Heavy bag round kicks - First minute boxing combinations with round kicks; second minute speed kick, changing legs at the halfway mark; third minute power kicks off both legs
