Sparring
Sparring at Rock Solid Kickboxing is optional for all students. All students have their own reasons for attending this great sport, but for those who want to test the skills they have learnt, or are interested in entering fighting competitions we at RSK hold a once a week special sparring class. See classes for day, venue and time.
The sparring venue is a fully matted dojo where you can feel safe when executing take down techniques on the high quality mats. If you intend to spar at the dojo, you’ll find sparring to be very exciting as well as beneficial to your regular training schedule. The instructors and teachers will be right there watching and guiding students, making sure that no one gets hurt. The sparring is based on light continuous controlled contact.
Increasing Skills
All students will need to have all the necessary equipment to attend this class. Head guard, mouth guard, boxing gloves, groin protection, shin pads and protective boots are all required. No student can attend unless their current insurance is up to date.
All in all, sparring is an excellent way to practice the skills you have acquired during regular class lessons against other willing students. Other students are great to spar against, especially if they are a higher level of skill than you are, a great way of learning through practice. You can use sparring to your advantage, learning what others do and how they react to your movements and techniques.
The longer you spar and practice your moves, the better you will get in your training, with greater speed, reaction and the execution of your skills.
During sparring, students go back and forth, competing with each other and testing each other’s skills. The rounds will vary, although most competition fighting bouts are around 3 minutes.
Students will also receive help and insight from their instructors to let them know how they are doing, show them fighting techniques and also change anything they are doing wrong. Sparring also gives instructors the chance to see just how well you are progressing in training and guide you in what areas you may need to work on.
Build Strength Through Training!
If you are looking for a great way to define the muscles of your upper body, try kickboxing. Although it may sound like kickboxing is only good for working the lower body, it is actually a healthy, strength-building activity for your whole body. In addition to being a strength- building exercise, kickboxing works the heart muscle and creates an aerobic effect.
Kickboxing has traditionally been thought of only as a martial arts activity, but is becoming an increasingly popular form of aerobics and strength training.
