Build a fighter's foundation. Join our Hosa Road and HSR sessions to master the technique, power, and rhythm of boxing and Dutch-style kickboxing.

A powerful kick starts from the ground up. This is a flying kick on the wrecking ball, a great drill for developing explosive power and coordination.

Hi, this is Babu. In this clip, we work on a classic kickboxing combo: the jab, cross, and roundhouse kick. I show how to execute it with and without a check, making it a versatile tool for offense.

Sparring drills are key to improving timing and distance. Here, I'm practicing a side kick counter during a striking round at the Ippon Institute, focusing on maintaining form under pressure.

Pad work is one of the best ways to sharpen your strikes. This is a typical partner drill where we focus on accuracy, power, and reaction time.

The day starts with the grind. This is a 6:30 AM boxing session, using resistance bands to improve punching power and shoulder endurance.

Shadowboxing is where you perfect your movement. I’m working on footwork, head movement, and punch combinations, visualizing an opponent.

Getting the reps in with some kickboxing shadow boxing. Notice the shin guards, we always train with the right gear to practice safely and effectively.

A quick look at a kickboxing session, focusing on heavy bag work. This is great for cardio and building power in your kicks and punches.

Footwork is just as important as punching. Here, I'm using cones to drill movement patterns while practicing strikes on the speed bag.

Using a resistance band during heavy bag training adds another layer of difficulty. It forces you to drive through your punches and builds explosive strength.
