Zane Isaacs Championship MMA

“Thai style sparring” is light and playful. Because the Thais often fight every weekend, they’ve developed a very playful sparring style to make sure they are healthy for their fights. At Championship MMA, we know that what you have planned for the weekend might not be a fight, but you still need to be healthy for it! No black eyes, no sore ribs, all smiles.

The “combo of the day”, the technique of the day, or mitt drills with no thought at all of what might be coming back at you is completely useless at best. At worst, it’s dangerous because it gives people the confidence to just step in and throw with their chin up, head in the middle, hands at their chest, and having no exit strategy at all. Recovering to the stance at proper distance with each rep is crucial.

It’s called self DEFENSE! Your offense doesn’t matter if you get cracked every time you step in to land it, or if your opponent is so aggressive that you can’t get it going. You NEED sound defensive skills and that takes EFFORT. It requires a good partner and realistic drilling.
