TCB Kids MMA Sparring
Once a week our athletes are allowed to do live sparring in the cage under tight supervision/coaching and with much attention given to weight and experience level.
TCB Kids Youth Wrestling/MMA
Our TCB “cage kids” is in full swing preparing for our summer program. Our kids MMA is primarily composed of Wrestling, Boxing, Submission Grappling, and Kickboxing. Classes are an hour and a half which gives us plenty of time to drill/practice multiple facets of each discipline. It is ideal for athletes of any sport that wish to cross train, get in better shape, improve coordination, and learn REAL self defense. Once a week our athletes are allowed to do live sparring in the cage under tight supervision/coaching and with much attention given to weight and experience level.
Kids are only allowed to spar just enough to leave them wanting more. Our kids take pride in being the very best students, athletes, and competitors they can be. This is the real deal not a martial arts mill that’s charging parents hundreds of dollars for colored belts and a false sense of security. We don’t take children that are not ready to listen or that do not want to be there. One visit to our class and you will find the very best that this area has to offer.
We guarantee it.
This Place -AK
This place.
This place is my brother, my father, my teacher, and my friend.
These mats are my playground, my gym, my confessional, and my home.
These walls contain greatness, pain, sadness, and sacrifice.
These people are my teammates, my opponents, my coaches, and my family.
This cage is my foundation, my medicine, my property, and my trade.
This game is ruthless, violent, peaceful, and poetic.
This gym is my love, my passion, my heartache, and my blood. It IS our DNA, it is us and we are it. It is my breath.
AK-
BJJ, TKD, Boxing, Kickboxing, Wrestling, Strength/Conditioning…ect…
In one place.
A Different kind of “Head Start.”
We always start them out just playing on some type of obstacle course that’s a lil different every time, they LOVE it. Then comes wrestling, they go for 3 short rds or less always making sure we leave them wanting MORE (all of these things are done ONLY if they WANT to) if I sense the slightest hesitation then we leave the gym. They don’t just “hang out” at the gym all day every day because then it would obviously lose its appeal, that way when they do come to the gym they automatically associate it with high energy, FUN, “play” time with Dad. They occasionally will do some stick sparring which is ALWAYS a big hit, (sometimes standing on a balance trainer at the same time), and finish up with some boxing or kicking. At home they have 2 strings hanging in their rooms, one for vertical leap and one for kick height, they regularly jump and/or kick these strings which is for some reason great fun (they’re VERY competitive). When I see them start hitting the strings consistently then I trim a lil tiny bit off when they’re not watching, then naturally they don’t know that they “shouldn’t” be able to get it and soon they’re touching/kicking them once again. They love holding mitts for eachother and are exceptionally health and fitness conscious. They know the names of almost all their muscles and are learning about fats, carbs, and proteins. A common question is “Daddy, is this healthy”. They are VERY in tune with their tiny lil bodies and take a lot of pride in both the gym and what they can do. They won’t leave the house in the morning until they have taken all their vitamins (and reminded me to take mine).
At this stage what you see them do is just pretty much instinctive, I’m not critical about form or technique, just encourage them to have fun and maybe give ONE little pointer every time we play. More importantly, I make sure they SEE things done at the highest level possible once in awhile. That is, after all how children learn. It’s not from some one critiquing every little detail until they completely lose interest (which I see many, many parents do).
Annikka is also on her way up so watch for her (she’s 1 1/2) and my oldest (Jaxon 10 yrs old) is a phenom at everything he touches. You’ll see some of their work soon…this reminds me of a quote from one of the Gracies, something like, “We were training every day of our lives, we just didn’t know it.”
Blizzard Warning
Today we started with a “push workout” meaning chest and tris primarily. We did a rep scheme of 10, 8, 6, and 5 sets of 3. That type of rep scheme allows lighter weight fighters the ability to add a crazy amount of strength without putting on excess weight, thereby allowing them to stay within the limits of their weight class. We followed that with an ab circuit for approx 15 minutes before working into boxing class.
We cross trained heavily with our wrestling team today intertwined with our boxing which is a very nightmarish formula for our opponents…not only is our signature TCB hybrid stand up system evolving/improving by leaps and bounds but we are also defending hundreds of shots/takedowns a day from some of the state’s best wrestlers which is making it increasingly difficult to bring us to the ground. After boxing and clinch work, we transitioned right into BJJ which is also known to be a strength of ours (approx 40 percent of our wins are by submission).
In the event you DO take a TCB fighter to the ground you will now be defending an arsenal of sweeps, submissions, and ground and pound. It reminds me of the old sniper saying “run if you want, you’ll only die tired”.
