Master Striking Technique: Boxing and Muay Thai Training
Boxing and Muay Thai techniques are built on the bag and perfected on the mitts. At our GTB Nagar gym, we drill the fundamentals until your movement becomes muscle memory.
We start with the fundamentals. This clip shows a student working on basic boxing combinations on the mitts, focusing on proper form for jabs and crosses. Honing these basics is the key to building a strong striking foundation.

Here, two students engage in a partner drill, practicing offensive and defensive boxing techniques. This type of training helps improve reaction time and the ability to read an opponent's movements.
We have a strong community of female boxers. This student is working on her power and speed with a coach, throwing crisp combinations on the pads. Our classes are a great way to learn self-defense and build confidence.
This is a look at a beginner's Muay Thai technique drill. We teach the fundamentals of the "art of eight limbs," including how to properly throw kicks and block strikes, ensuring a solid base for new students.
As a coach, I believe in leading by example. This throwback video shows me working the pads, demonstrating the speed, power, and technique that I teach my students in every class.
Preparing a fighter for an upcoming bout involves sharpening every tool. Here, I am working with one of our athletes on his boxing, focusing on head movement and counter-punching combinations to get him fight-ready.

Consistency is key. This young athlete is shown working the heavy bag and then transitioning to a rope climb, demonstrating the mix of skill work and strength conditioning we instill in our youth program.
About Striking Technique: Pad & Bag Work
Before you worry about power, we fix your stance. Most beginners in our classes stand too square or drop their hands after a simple jab. During pad work, you will feel the difference as we correct your shoulder rotation and foot placement, ensuring you generate force from your core rather than just swinging your arms.
Whether you are here for raw fitness or aiming for the competitive ring, striking is a science. At Knockout MMA, our program revolves around precision and consistency.
Boxing Foundations
We start with the jab and cross, focusing on proper body mechanics to ensure you remain balanced. You will spend time on the heavy bag to build knuckle conditioning and rhythm, then transition to mitts to test your accuracy under pressure. We do not just let you hit the bag; we ensure you are moving, breathing, and protecting your chin throughout the drill.
The Muay Thai Edge
We integrate the 'Art of Eight Limbs'. Beyond punches, you will learn to utilize elbows, knees, and shins correctly. Beginners often struggle with the distance management required for kicks; we drill this until it is second nature. You will learn to throw with impact without sacrificing your defense.
Why Pad Work Matters
Hitting a bag is for power, but hitting pads is for intelligence. When a coach holds mitts, they are actively defending and countering. This forces you to see openings and develop the 'ring eye' that static training misses. It turns a workout into a simulation of real sparring.
Your Progression
You do not need to be a pro to start. Our 3-day or 6-day sessions cater to everyone. If you need faster results, our 1-on-1 personal training tracks allow us to break down complex combinations without the distraction of a group setting. Our gym is a raw, high-intensity environment with puzzle mats and heavy bags. No air conditioning and no excuses—just work.
