Bridging the gap one session at a time! Removing some of the unnecessary psychological roadblocks that creep in to martial arts training. We’re avoiding using words like ‘beginner’ ‘basic’ ‘advanced’ ‘elite’ particularly when referring to a technique or strike.

Instead we’re minding our p’s and q’s and making no differentiation when we combine low kick set ups to flying kicks ala
The result:
Subtly better adoption of techniques.
More ‘have a go’ + ‘perfect it’ attitudes.
Improved linkage between dynamic forms.

Instead we’re minding our p’s and q’s and making no differentiation when we combine inside low kicks as a pivot set up, with Body Kicks, Southpaw striking, Knees and some inspired jumping kicks.

Welcoming, Inclusive and Supportive
Just another recent photo of the bonds that grow outwards from our classes and into the friendships that develop between likeminded people.

These are the riches which we measure our life and happiness by, because to us, friends are the family you get to choose :-)

Winners 🏆 Laughter, memories, Haribo and a suspicious looking Pineapple. Much more than a Pub Quiz, our group regularly hangs out after class bringing as much positive energy to the room and feeding it back to our incredible Pub Quiz hosts. At any given social interaction human beings are either giving or taking. It’s healthy to receive as much as it is to spread joy in the room. A balance needs to be stuck.

With our group, we strive to leave the room in a better, happier, lighter state than we found it, adding positively to the environment around us.

Last night we had 2 teams, one of which was made up of new and existing members for the very first time. And it all. Just. Clicked.

These are special tomes at Combat Solutions and each social occasion is as unique as the people who form vital parts of it.

Working the agile combinations and set ups to the jumping and scissor knee variations.

Thursday’s 7pm Bespoke class began last Autumn with one purpose :
Members submit requests for techniques and strategies they would most like to work on. Submissions are accepted between Friday and Tuesday allowing sufficient time to put together a qualitative, and accessible teaching format for each Thursday 7pm Class.
We then recap on them over a back to back two hour at the start of the new months.

Quite by accident , the result had seen a broad repertoire of understanding and techniques being adopted during our Freestyle rounds and Sparring Classes.
We’ll take that !

Week 17-18: Defensive Counters part 2

An element of randomisation and power shots punctuating every round is valuable. These prioritise muscle activation and recruitment amongst other things including training weight distribution.

Long sequences may Increase endurance and volume capacity,
but often at the risk of all important fight realism.
In practice: Cognitive loading principle does not always favour lengthy combination.

‘Time under pressure’ does not always equate to ‘Time under tension’.
Risks draining processing ability. The brain requires training in this regard.
Answer: Increase as a form of ‘stress inoculation’.

Hot take : Each round. Allow for a varied profile : Mix single or short ‘opportunity’ strikes + partner stimulus /protocol drills (catch/ counters) + a core of shorter realistic combinations which explore a set breadth possibilities.
