Team Oyama style! Oh yeah!! Thank you team Oyama for such a great event.
Ron and Marie hosted our Thai kickboxing class along with a group of fighters. Station one was my favorite except for the fact that I had a bruised shin from kicking the bag. Kicking with a shin and knee is much different from I was use to. In karate and taekwondo use the feet to kick so I had to learn a new style. Station 2 was a lot of fun. We did punches, jump squats, and crawls. I like the feeling of the training fighting mat area. Barefoot feels right where as wearing shoes at 24 hour fitness is so wrong. I was glad that my physical condition was better than I thought but I was much slower than most people around me but I was satisfied with my form. We were taught to pace ourselves but if I go again I want to push myself to the limit. Station 3 was outside of the ring where we performed high knee kicks and box jumps. This was tough after doing the previous stations. Also the leg and core exercises between each station were killer.
Overall I loved the class much better than the circuit training at Precision Fitness. At team Oyama you will feel bad ass and it doesn't feel like a workout because it fun. Surprisingly my body combat and condition classes at 24 hour fitness prepared me for this training but if I want to take my workout to the next level Team...
Read moreIm only going to speak on the kickboxing classes. I havent tried their sparring or grappling classes but This isnt your normal cardio class where you hit the bag a few times and go home. they will empty your tank, you will be fatigued and you will be punching and kicking the bag until your arms and legs fall off, your clothes will be drench with sweat every session. The sessions were amazing, They would empty my tank on the bag with a combination like a 1-2 or a specific kick over and over and we would move right back into pad work and back onto bags, completely working the whole body and mind. I’ve trained at multiple MMA gyms and I can confidently say these kickboxing classes are not for hobbyist, they will train you like you’re a professional kickboxer and striker going into a fight. I cant speak highly enough of how tough, rigorous, and intense the pad work and bag work here for the...
