White Tiger Kickboxing

kb

The Fire element stands for Power, energy, attack. Fire is all consuming, it burns up everything in it’s path.

In STMA Fire is the Kickboxing element. It is the forward driving power of the boxer or Thai boxer. The powerful punches on the focus pads, the mighty kicks, knees and elbows on the Thai pads. It is the power of karate as it breaks through wood boards.

The opponent has no option to retreat into the corner. If he tries to hit back we cover, evade, take his bows on our gloves or shins, and hit him back even harder.

In the body Fire refers to metabolism, the use of energy.

Boxing

This is Western boxing, hands only fighting.

Kickboxing – Full Contact

This is basically boxing with the addition of the 4 primary karate kicks

Freestyle karate

Primary drilling is done on the focus mitts.

Sparring uses the lighter mitts and is touch or semi contact only.

Semi Contact Kickboxing

This is the same as Freestyle karate.

Lo Kix KB

Same as FC KB but includes low kicks to the leg, and involves the leg block.

Thai boxing

With KB we have taken our drilling mainly from karate and boxing.

Thai boxing takes training methods from Muay Thai, a different MA.

This involves the use of the knee, and training on the Thai pads.

Savate Boxe Francais

A whole new dimension to long range kicking, drilling and sparring.
