 PUNCHING

Our Kickboxing programme uses western boxing as the main structure of our hand striking, we also add elements from Kali and Ghost Elusive Combat to make our punches effective and efficient, elusive and accurate.

 KICKING

We take kicks from Karate, Muay Thai, Savate and Taekwondo, this gives us a large range of leg techniques to attack with.  Even if you are not flexible kicks to your opponents legs are just as effective as higher kicks.

 CLINCH

We use clinch (grappling) techniques from Muay Thai for when the fight gets up close.  From here we can use elbows, knees and sweeps to attack our opponent.  The clinch is an essential part in being a complete fighter (or is just good hard fun).

 PAD WORK

We use focus mits, Thai pads, kick shields and punch bags to build striking power and targeting. This allows a safe way to train kickboxing and a great way to work off the weeks tensions, It also develops accuracy and timing.

 SPARRING

Sparring is developed in a progressive way, starting with light contact for beginners and building as students get more experienced to semi and full contact if people wish. We make sure that people leave their egos at the door when they train as everyone is there to have fun and develop safely.

 FITNESS

Technique and skill is one thing but if you cannot last more than 30 seconds without gassing then you are in trouble.  Fitness is essential to our training and all the pad work, sparring and partner drills are mixed with traditional fitness elements to get you fighting fit.

PHIL NORMANS GHOST ELUSIVE COMBAT

WE ARE PROUD TO BE AN AFFILIATE CLUB OF THE GHOST FIGHTING SYSTEM

Ghost is an elusive striking system, developed over two decades of competition fighting and experience. With all things being equal, Ghost enables you strike an opponent with minimal return, leaving an opponent bruised and confused and often trying to play catch up.

This unorthodox system teaches you dynamic striking angles whilst utilising evasive movement, leaving the person in front of you hitting thin air and feeling like they are fighting a ghost!
