Beginners Class

Dutch Style Kickboxing is a fusion of Western Boxing, Muay Thai and Kyokushin Karate. Heavy punches and punch combinations are used to set up devastating kicks and knees. The focus is on good body mechanics that allow flowing combinations, often finishing with the trademark low kick.

This hour long class is designed to introduce the basic principles and techniques of the art. This will  include stance, striking, defence, footwork, padwork and basic combinations.

Its a completely beginner friendly class, so if its your first time or are only a few classes in, its prefect for you

There will also be a strong focus on building up and improving fitness  and conditioning.

The class will consist of 5 sections:

• Warm up and mobility
• Line drills
• Pad work to practice the individual technique with power
• Fitness circuits
• Cool down and stretch

For the trial class gloves are provided, after that you will need to provide your own

Fundamentals Class

This is a 1.5hr non contact class covering the fundamentals of the art. Once you have progressed from the basics this is the class for you.

Here we start to look at, cover and drill down the techniques and combos you will  most commonly use. This class will have a strong emphasis on proper form and technique.

Fundamentals are the cornerstone of your development. Without a good apperception of these you can only progress so far.

Expect to work hard with solid conditioning and learning effective combinations, smoothly combing both hands and legs

The class will consist of 6 sections:

• Warm up and mobility
• Line drills
• Pad work to practice the individual technique with power
• Give and take partner drills to practice fluidity in the combinations
• Fitness circuits
• Cool down and stretch

You need to bring your own gloves, handwraps and shin pads for this class.

Sparring drills and development for all levels

Once you have an understanding of the basic techniques and combinations, its time to put them into practice through live sparring.

Sparring is not fighting, Sparring is learning. Its a tool to aid improvement, the same as pad work, bag work and shadow boxing.

Here at Catch & Counter we don’t subscribe to heavy sparring, we prefer light and technical sparring focusing on strike combinations and defensive structure as opposed to brute strength and power.

This will be a 1.5hr class suitable for those who have done the beginners class. We will mould the sparring to your own level and experience.

We never go straight into sparring, instead we follow a structure consisting of drills to work on Targets, Tools and Tactics.

This may involve range finder drills, probing drills, isolation sparring, tactical sparring and finally open sparring.

You will need to bring your own gloves, shin pads and gum shield for this class. 14or 16oz gloves preferable

Start your weekend right with a full hour of pure padwork and conditioning.

All non contact so just you and a partner, pads and bodyweight conditioning

Here we go through combos and drills on both thai pads and/ or boxing pads ( depending if you want to box or kickbox) with a focus on fitness and conditioning.

Suitable for all levels but advisable to attend the beginners first just so you know the basics.

Personal training is suitable for everyone, from beginners to experienced. Whether it’s for fitness, learning a new skill, or expanding and enhancing your existing skill set. I am here to support and encourage you to reach and maybe even exceed your goals.

If you wish to train with a friend or as a couple that’s no problem, you can bring a friend along for free.

You will need to bring your own gloves and handwraps.
