šŸ„Š Technique breakdown with Coach Kerem

What happens when your opponent checks your kick? šŸ‘€

Coach Kerem breaks down how to use a kick fake to set up a teep and catch your opponent off guard. Itā€™s all about timing, distance, and making your opponent react to your setup.

In MuayThai, itā€™s not just about throwing techniques, itā€™s about understanding the why behind themšŸ’Æ

Train with purpose. Move with intentionšŸ„Š

šŸ§˜ā€ā™€ļø Move with intention. Build control. Connect with your body.

Yoga isnā€™t just about flexibility. The slower, more intentional movements of YogaMuay allow you to feel the small fluctuations in your balance, muscle activation, breath, and alignment.

It teaches you to move with focus and control while building balance, mobility, flexibility, strength, and a deeper mind-body connection.

And just like in MuayThai, itā€™s not about simply doing the movement. Itā€™s about understanding why youā€™re moving the way you are.

āœØ YogaMuay at 1Up: where movement, mindfulness, and MuayThai come together. Join us every Wednesday at 6:30am and Sunday at 12:30pm with our amazing instructor Maria Pereira

YIN ISNā€™T JUST STRETCHING. ITā€™S PART OF YOUR TRAININGšŸ§˜ā€ā™€ļøšŸ„Š

After MuayThai, your body has worked hard and your nervous system is still onāš”ļø

MuayThai is explosive. Powerful. Fast. It challenges your strength, coordination, endurance, and nervous system.

Yin gives you the opportunity to do the oppositešŸ§˜šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø

Slow down. Breathe. Be still. Let your nervous system come back down. And spend time working on the flexibility and mobility that can help you move better, recover better, and continue doing the things you love.

As a physical therapist, Iā€™ve seen what happens when people wait until their body forces them to pay attention.

Please donā€™t wait for the herniated disc.
Donā€™t wait for the fall.
Donā€™t wait until pain, stiffness, weakness, or loss of mobility starts limiting your life.

Prevention and taking care of yourself NOW matter.

And that is exactly why we created 1Up to be more than just a MuayThai gym.

We want to give you resources. Education. Support. Tools.

šŸ„Š Muay Thai
šŸ§˜ā€ā™€ļø Yin Yoga
šŸ¤øā€ā™€ļø Pilates
šŸ„— Nutrition
šŸ§  Mentorship
šŸ’Ŗ Recovery & injury prevention

Use them. Pleaseā¤ļø

Our goal isnā€™t simply to make you better at Muay Thai. Itā€™s to help you become stronger, healthier, more resilient, and more educated about your own body so you can enjoy a higher quality of life for years to come.

We want to educate you. Empower you. And give you the tools to take care of yourself.

Join our amazing YogaMuay instructor who actively practices MuayThai, Maria Pereira every Sunday at 12:30 PM for Yoga Muay Yin, immediately following our 11am MuayThai class.

Your body works hard for you.
Give it the care it deservesā¤ļø

Our very first 1Up Womenā€™s Night Out šŸ’•šŸ„‚

What a night! So many laughs, great conversations, and such a beautiful opportunity to get to know the women in our community outside of the gym. I absolutely loved seeing everyoneā€™s personalities, stories, and just getting to enjoy each otherā€™s company beyond training.

At 1Up, weā€™re here to empower, support, encourage, and lift each other up. We want every woman who walks through our doors to feel comfortable being exactly who she is, in training, outside of training, and in her own skin.

And one of my favorite parts of the night? The brainstormingšŸ’” We talked about what we love, what we can improve, and how we can continue making our classes and our community even better. Weā€™re constantly learning, growing, and trying to become better together.

Weā€™re genuinely proud of the community weā€™re buildingā¤ļø A place where women can come to get stronger, challenge themselves, laugh together, support one another, and feel like they belong.

Thank you to everyone who came out and made our first Womenā€™s Night Out so special and to everyone who continues to be part of this family.

Hereā€™s to strong women, strong community, and many more nights togetheršŸ„‚ā¤ļø

And hopefullyā€¦ weā€™ll be adding many more beautiful faces to our 1Up family soon. šŸ„°

Train. Recover. Thrive.

What if you could spend just a couple of hours in the morning investing in your strength, mobility, recovery, and long-term health? šŸ’ŖšŸ¼

At 1Up, we believe training isnā€™t just about working harder, itā€™s about taking care of your body so you can keep doing the things you love for years to come.

Our Thursdays are a perfect example:

šŸ„Š 6:30 AM ā€” Muay Thai
šŸ§˜šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø 7:45 AM ā€” Rehab-Based Pilates
šŸ“ Dry Needling with Dr. Kai available afterward when needed

And on Saturdays:

šŸ§˜šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø 9:00 AM ā€” Rehab-Based Pilates
šŸ„Š Followed by Muay Thai

Two different forms of movement. Two different ways to challenge your body. And when needed, targeted recovery to help you move and perform your best.

Because 1Up Muay Thai Academy is about more than Muay Thai.

Weā€™re about building stronger, healthier bodies, supporting recovery and rehabilitation, reducing injury risk, and helping our community live longer, more active, higher-quality lives.

Train hard. Recover intentionally. Live betterā¤ļøšŸ™

Body Mechanics Behind the Kick (continued)šŸ„ŠšŸ¦µ

A couple weeks ago, we focused on the lower body and broke down how the hips, legs, and feet work together to generate power.

This time, weā€™re building on that foundation by looking at a little more of the lower body while putting a greater emphasis on the upper body, especially how rotation changes depending on what weā€™re trying to do.

When do we fully rotate through a kick to maximize power? And when do we intentionally not rotate all the way so we can stay ready to transition into a boxing counter?

These small details can make a huge difference in how you move, and how you execute and connect your techniques.

Dr. Kai, Doctor of Physical Therapy, breaking down the science and body mechanics behind Muay Thai at 1Up Muay Thai AcademyšŸ§ šŸ„Š

Every class is like a seminar. We donā€™t just teach you what to do. We teach you why.

Come experience it for yourself. Try a class and see what makes 1Up differentšŸ™Œ
