Specialties- Stand Up Style Martial Arts

Stand-up Style Martial Arts:

standupVarious forms of boxing, kickboxing/Muay Thai and forms of full contact karate are trained to improve footwork, elbowing, kicking, kneeing and punching.

Sprawl-and-brawl

Sprawl-and-brawl is a stand-up fighting tactic that consists of effective stand-up striking, while avoiding ground fighting, typically by using sprawls to defend against takedowns.

A sprawl-and-brawler is usually a boxer, kickboxer, Thai boxer or full contact karate fighter who has trained in wrestling to avoid takedowns to keep the fight standing. Often, these fighters will study submission wrestling to avoid being forced into submission, should they find themselves on the ground. This style can be deceptively different from traditional kickboxing styles, since sprawl-and-brawlers must adapt their techniques to incorporate takedown and ground fighting defense.

  • Luis A. Marrero says:

    Why are you people typing about how serious you are about becoming a fighter yet your asking information on the internet. Get your asses up and get to the nearest gym. Your not going to know if you got what takes unless you fight. So pick up your pants, get away from your computer, wash your hands and and learn what it really means to beat meat.
