Striking putting in that work —pressure drills, KO setups, and sharp defense into counters. This is where technique meets timing.

One team. One standard. Keep showing up. 👊 OSU!

Our kids are turning into real fighters—dialing in their boxing numbers, adding kicks, and putting it all together with the Bas Combo… but more importantly, learning what it means to lead. Discipline, focus, and confidence on and off the mats. 💪

This week, our students are learning how to throw a powerful cross and build confidence through the step kick—a key move for timing and balance. We’re combining these techniques in the Switch It Combo, helping students link punches and kicks with smooth transitions. Our Mat Chat, “Take Action,” reminds everyone that growth happens when we put effort behind our goals—on and off the mats!

This week in Adult Striking we’re focusing on the fundamentals that build power and flow — mastering lead and rear hooks through the Single Punch Series, linking strikes into the Cross–Lead Kick, and drilling the Walking Round Kick to sharpen movement and timing. We’ll finish with the classic Dutch Drill (Part 1) to build rhythm, defense, and nonstop combinations.
