Thoughts on technique: A simple kickboxing drill

~ lukaspezenka ~ Kommentar hinterlassen

Both Chris and I plan to qualify for and compete in the WKF kickboxing world championships in Croatia this year. Hence, we don't cross-train a lot but rather stick to basic kickboxing training.

Yesterday was fight club day. You see, once a month I invite fighters from another school to spar with my boys and girls to gain some combat experience. The Shinergy[battle] are quite a rare event, so for most of my athletes - those which are not keen on competing in Kickboxing bouts -, getting to … Event Report: Fight[club], hosted by Shinergy[stadlau], 2012-03-05 weiterlesen

So yesterday we had the "Gymnastics 101" masterclass, which was held by a good friend of mine, Martin Friedrich.

Ok, it's been a while. Now properly analyzing a fight means going through the details over and over again, watching the fight endless times, observing a different aspect each time. This is not something I can do on the fly. So, since I was pretty short on time, I decided not to write a half-hearted … Michael H (Shinergy[stadlau]) VS Tino P (Shinergy[zone vienna]) weiterlesen

Today I'll cover quite an interresting fight:Andy M (Shinergy[stadlau]) VS Gerhard (Shinergy[zone vienna])Now this fight is interresting in that winning wasn't an option for Andy to begin with. You see, Andy was pretty badly handicapped by knee pain, so he was in no condition to throw kicks. To make things even more challenging, Andy competed … Fight analysis: Shinergy[battle] autumn ’11, Andy VS Gerhard weiterlesen

Today, let's take a closer look at fight #2,Andy (Shinergy[stadlau]) VS Pierre (Shinergy[zone vienna]).That fight was particularly interresting in that it probably was the most tactical fight on that evening. Both competitors kept alternating between offensive and defensive styles. While it seemed that Pierre rather preferred a rather counter-oriented strategy, Andy was more interrested in … Fight analysis: Shinergy[battle] autumn ’11, Andy VS Pierre weiterlesen
