Martial Art And Fitness - MAAF

PRESSURE TESTING
-
1 objective. Get up. Strikes allowed.
Go Go Go!
-
A lot of the time in grappling exchanges it becomes about transitions and submissions but in reality it’s about getting to your feet!

HUGE WEEKEND 👀🥋
-
art.and.fitness wants to say a huge congratulations to our 1st ever Advance grade. (Black belt) .
-
Ross had been training with us from day 1 and this grade is long over due.
Ross is a hard working, talented martial artist with fantastic understanding of the principles and concepts that we teach. However and more importantly Ross is a really great person who I don’t just consider a good student but also a good friend.
-
Our black belt testing is not just based on 1 day on a pass or fail merit. It’s something that you achieve by years of hard work, turning up when you don’t always want to and giving it your best no matter what. It’s about listening to the ideas we teach and then trying to further the understanding of those ideas. Something that Ross has done throughout his journey with us.
-
Having said all this! The hard work starts now!
A black belt is just the start of the next phase of training and understanding. Never look at it as a finish line look at it as a level up. 🥋
-
Well done Ross. A thoroughly deserved grade, we look forward to helping you in the next steps of your journey.

Walk a mile to avoid a fight but when one starts. Don’t back up an inch! 🥊🥋

New skills, better coach.
-
As a coach, I need to improve my knowledge, skills, training methods. Teaching techniques and improve my curriculum.
-
The great thing is it opens my eyes to what I need to change and what has stood the test of time.
-
The better I can be the better I can help my students and that’s a win win situation for everyone.

We grown and improve together 🥊

Confrontational control. 🤬

How you deal with the pre fight can effect the out come of the whole fight.

EXPLICIT LANGUAGE 🚨📢
-
There are 2 main types of altercations.
1️⃣ the interview
2️⃣ the ambush
-
The interview is what I want to explain here.
-
The interview is the term we use for any verbal dialogue before any physical exchange takes place. It doesn’t always have to be aggressive. However when Confronted with a uncommon aggressive threat we often get an even greater release of adrenaline that can, if unfamiliar completely consume us.
-
In some of our pre fight management classes we cover these topics in great detail and then train this type of interview so that we can familiarise ourselves with it.
-
We cover 3 pre fight fences from this type of interview.
We call them.
1️⃣Controlling
2️⃣Ballooning
3️⃣Submissive
Each of these fences has its own curriculum covering them in full detail.
-
If you wish to see and learn more then check us out every Monday 8-9:30pm including bank holidays.
