The story
This member came to EMMA with a kickboxing background — but, in his own words, nothing close to a professional level. His speed was not where he wanted it, his defense had gaps, and he had very little real fighting experience.
At EMMA that changed. He says his defense got better, his speed improved and his fighting came together, because sparring is part of the week: there is sparring almost every day, plus a full sparring day with other players. Everyone he trains with is a fighter, and he describes the whole atmosphere as great.
If you already know the basics and want to test them, this is what the next step looks like — controlled, regular sparring with coaches watching, so the technique you drill actually holds up under pressure.
Highlights
- Better defense and faster reactions
- Sparring almost every day, plus a full sparring day
- Training partners who are real fighters
