Master Your Striking and Stand-Up Game
We combine the structural discipline of Karate, the rhythm of Boxing, and the clinch-work of Muay Thai to build your stand-up arsenal.
Striking training is about more than just hitting pads. It's about building confidence, focus, and inner strength. In this video, two students work on their boxing combinations and footwork during a partner drill.
My classes cover a range of disciplines. This clip shows a student practicing boxing drills with red gloves, followed by a shot of my kids' karate class practicing their fundamental stances and punches.
A typical MMA training session involves both striking and grappling. Here, students are seen practicing their boxing, which then transitions into wrestling drills for takedowns, showing how we blend different martial arts.
Wrestling is a critical component of Mixed Martial Arts. In this video, my students are drilling takedown entries and defense, building the strength and technique needed to control where the fight takes place.
This is what training at The Dojo feels like. I run high-energy morning MMA classes that cover everything from striking and takedowns to ground control. Whether you are a complete beginner or have experience, these sessions are designed to level up your fitness and fighting skills.
About this collection
We prioritize technical precision over raw power, so you will spend your initial sessions mastering footwork and guard maintenance before moving into higher-intensity drills. A sharp stand-up game relies entirely on balance and distance management, which is why we break down every combination into repeatable movements before you ever step into live sparring.
The Art of Range
Striking is the language of distance. Whether you are aiming for competitive MMA or effective self-defense, your ability to manage range and land clean shots is paramount. We draw from the structural discipline of JKA Karate, the fluid combinations of Boxing, and the clinch-heavy control of Muay Thai to provide a complete stand-up framework.
Why Technique Matters
You will not find 'cardio-kickboxing' here. Our sessions are rooted in the reality of combat. We focus on:
- Footwork: Learning how to move in and out of the pocket without losing your center.
- Defensive Posture: Keeping your guard tight while maintaining your vision.
- Logical Combinations: Chaining strikes together based on situational need, rather than throwing single, predictable punches.
- Clinch Control: Understanding how to transition from striking to wrestling when the distance closes.
The Training Environment
Our HSR Layout facility is designed for focus. We maintain a clean, matted area that allows for safe, live drilling. We believe a warrior is forged in discipline, so we expect regular attendance and commitment to the basics. You will be corrected, you will sweat, and you will improve. Whether you are a beginner building your foundation from the ground up or an experienced practitioner looking to sharpen your existing tools, there is a place for you on our mats. Osu.
