TRAINING FOR REAL SITUATIONS.

Training Realistically

Martial arts is about training proper reactions for real situations. At Striking Institute we focus on this training SAFELY yet realistically. We will build the proper reactions into you while you learn how to strengthen your force of will.

Everyone learns at a different pace and in different ways. Our instructors will get to know you and teach you in a way that is effective for your goals.

We will also allow you to explore your own style. There are "rules" we will teach you about the basics of fighting. Eventually you'll learn where you can bend and break those rules in order to grow into your own specific style that works for you.

Whether you plan on competing in the ring, want to know how to fight, or want to challenge yourself mentally and physically, Striking Institute will push you to reaching (and surpassing) your goals.

Striking Power

HEAVY BAGS TRAINING

Grab a bag and attack with as much power as you can! This works your striking power and contributes to hardening your body! Which is an essential piece of martial arts and learning to fight.

All About Timing

TIMING SPARRING

Spar with your teammates using a specific timing. We spar to get used to exchanging strikes with a person in an atmosphere that is safer than full sparring. Timing sparring is also typically slower than full sparring.

Specific Combos

DRILLING CLASSES

We work specific combinations or counters in a controlled setting. This is to "feel" the proper timing needed to execute the moves in real time. This is different than sparring in that you always know the technique your partner will use.

Technique

CLINCH TRAINING

We practice the "inside" game of striking. When you are holding on to your opponent there are many grappling techniques you can learn like elbows and knees combined with sweeps and trips.

Live Sparring

SPARRING CLASSES

Live sparring. As close to fighting as we can get. Although this sparring is more "free", and getting hurt is inevitable, we still do not practice maliciously. Your training partners are your friends. Although you want to challenge each other, you never intend to hurt them.
