Heike Says:
Ladies, don't be afraid to lift heavier weights, you will not get bulky! It will tone and lean you out with the proper diet and cardio program.
Rob Says:
If you want to be a fighter, you have to train like one! Your training determines the outcome of the fight. The fight is where you get to enjoy all of your hard work!
Lissa Says:
TURN YOUR HIPS! In boxing or kickboxing to execute a powerful strike you must turn your hips. The power from a strike comes from hip rotation, not from upper body strength.
Marshell Says:
Speed=Power.
The faster and more explosive you are, the more powerful your technique will be.

Tips from the trainers at KBX
March/April 2008
|
Heike Says: When doing Bicep curls, make sure to keep your elbows tight to your body. This will isolate the muscle group and will prevent injury by not putting strain on other muscles. |
|
Rob Says: Cut off the ring (or octagon) by stalking your opponent. Doing this will allow you to CLOSE THE DISTANCE, forcing your opponent to stay in the fight so you can get to work and FINISH the job! |
|
Lissa Says: KEEP YOUR HANDS UP! In boxing or kickboxing, try to keep your hands up by your face at all times. This will help improve your technique and accuracy while conditioning your shoulders at the same time. |
|
Marshell Says: Use the Jab to set up all techniques. Using the jab to set up combinations allows you to use your distance correctly as well as keep you from telegraphing your moves. The lead leg front kick (or foot jab) can also be used the same way. |

Heike Says:
To maximize your results, always make sure to replenish your muscles with the proper balance of carbohydrates and protein immediately following your workout.
Rob say:
Never, Never quit...or die w/ the move
If you have the submission, DON'T GIVE IT UP!
Lissa Says:
When executing any kick (Front, Round, Side, etc.) always chamber the leg first, bringing your knee up toward your chest. The higher you chamber your knee, the higher your kicks will be.
Marshell Says:
Fight how you train and train how you fight

Heike says:
Do not lift more weight than you can handle!
ALWAYS keep your form and go through the full range of motion for each repetition
Rob Says:
"Always Be Closing"
Always work toward submitting your opponent in grappling or in MMA (mixed martial arts). Be two to three moves ahead of your opponent and never stop being busy! Press the action, wear them down and get the submission before your opponent does!
Lissa Says:
Dont forget to BREATHE!
Always exhale through your mouth on every strike. This will help increase your cardio and decrease fatigue while working on the bags, the pads and even shadow boxing.
Marshell says:
Strike hard and be FIRST!
