Training safe at Elite Training Center
(Redondo Beach, CA) is very important for all students to adhere to. Thinking about the dangers that exist in combat training can set a person’s mind whirling. Krav Maga, Kali Silat, Muay Thai Kickboxing, BJJ and MMA are all very violent arts. They were created for self defense and combat. Anything short of that is a grave misunderstanding. However in order to “practice” these combative systems we must exercise extreme caution. There are pads and shadowboxing, allowing the students to go hard and fast, aggressive and violent. Once the instructor calls time, then a calm must take over.
Understand that we aren’t finger painting. We aren’t knitting. We are practicing combat and self defense. There are lots of places to train in the South Bay i.e. Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach, Torrance, Palos Verdes. Few will encourage the approach that Elite Training Center takes to training in Krav Maga, Muay Thai, Kali Silat, BJJ, MMA. Not training safely can result in an injury that not only sours the student who is hurt, but also the partner responsible, and the room full of students.
A slow steady approach can instill so many great habits. Further down the road the student will be able to view techniques at a faster pace and understand them more in depth. Then they will truly see how the body is supposed to move in whatever martial arts discipline that is being practiced.
