A few weekends ago we were fortunate to have Greg Nelson teaching a seminar at our school in Thai boxing. Greg is one of the most successful UFC coaches in the United States today. Not to mention he has a wealth of knowledge in Thai boxing. The Atlanta martial arts Center is directly affiliated with Greg Nelson and his Thai boxing program. What makes Greg Thai boxing program so unique and valuable is his background and experience teaching fighters for UFC. So not only does the practitioner had the opportunity to learn technical and fundamental Thai boxing but they also gain the knowledge of how Greg has trained his fighters to adapt their Thai boxing for use in the UFC.
It is not uncommon to see various kickboxing classes taught on every street corner. The drawback to these classes are that the practitioner never really learns how to do the techniques correctly. Most of the class is designed just to keep your heart rate up by punching and kicking it something. The drawback to not learning technical Thai boxing or kickboxing is that when you start to pick up the pace in order to increase the training level you are more acceptable to injury if you are not doing the techniques fundamentally correct. If you take time to learn the fundamental structures of the system when you step up your training pace you not only will be able to train much harder and at a higher rate but you will be able to do so safely. This is the benefit of actually learning the art. Other benefits of learning correct movement is that your body will become stronger, looser and have greater range of motion from the proper technique. You will also be able to train longer. It is not uncommon for a martial arts practitioner who has learned techniques in the correct manner to continue to study even as they age older and older.
This is one of the reasons why we required the students in our program to take their time in the beginning and learn the fundamentals. If they do so there martial arts career will be long and a will benefit tremendously from what the art has to offer.
