Sparring Workshop (Sun 25 Mar)

Monash Kickboxing — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 12:30:44 +0000

This event is for Monash University Kickboxing Club & A.I.M. Academy Members.

We’re running a Sparring Workshop to introduce our new members to sparring in a safe & fun environment.

This Sparring Workshop is suitable for beginners, through to advanced levels.

The Workshop will also act as preparation for the upcoming Interclub sparring event, where Monash Kickboxing & A.I.M. Academy Members will be competing under Boxing or Kickboxing rules.

As this is a joint event b/w Monash Kickboxing & A.I.M. Academy, you will have lots of different sparring partners to work with.

The Sparring Workshop will include sparring drills on the following topics:

Basic sparring principles
Defensive skills
How to set up combinations
How to draw your opponent in
How to effectively feint, or fake
Ringcraft & ring awareness
How to put your opponent onto the ropes or into the corner (and keep them there!)
How to get off the ropes (if you’re the one up against them)
How to get out of the corner
How to use the ropes to your advantage
And much, much more…

We will also be doing light-contact & semi-contact Boxing & Kickboxing sparring to apply these skills in live sparring.

All Members interested in representing the Monash University Kickboxing Club & A.I.M. Academy at future Interclubs should do their best to attend this workshop.

All other Club Members are encouraged to attend & learn some new skills, and also spar with different partners in the lead up to our Monash Kickboxing Exhibition Fight Night (Semester 2, 2012).
