KIDS & TEENS KICKBOXING
Mixed Martial Arts inspired kickboxing is an effective form of kicking-focused self-defense.
Designed to be used without weapons for self-defense against either armed or unarmed attackers, Kickboxing consists of kicks, grappling and leg-trapping. It is considered to be one of the most effective forms of self-defense whether standing or forced to grapple on the floor. Kickboxing differs from traditional boxing in its practical use of all available body techniques to fight off an attacker, whether it’s open hand strikes, elbow & knee strikes, or anything from chopping motions to head butting. It is a system designed not for sports and point-scoring, but for real-life practical self-defense in the street or in any environment.
We have specifically tailored this program to apply the principles and skills behind Mixed Martial Arts to be appropriate for kids and teens, removing violent moves traditionally taught in Eastern methods of instruction and replacing them with thoughtful self-defense technique training. Our goal is to make the class both fun and challenging for our kids and teenagers, building their self-confidence and physical preparedness. It will be the very first time that this kind of self defense will be teach in New York.
