January 15, 2010 on 5:10 pm | In Fighting: San Shou/Sanda/Shuai Chiao | No Comments

I am gathering martial artist in the DC area who are interested in fighting in July on the Lei Tai and creating a DC area team. Training will include various striking, throws, and training techniques from Taijiquan, Pakuachang, and Hsingyiquan as well as boxing, muay thai, wrestling, and judo in Lei Tai gear. Other areas that will be covered: Strength, endurance, and body Conditioning and circuits, mental preparation, your training and diet schedule, sparring drills, fight simulation, cornering, recovery exercises, timing, review rules of Lei Tai, and your game plan strategy. It will be done in several phases indoors and outdoors- off season training (winter) , Spring training, and intense Summer (pre-event) training. This is not a forms class, only combat sport for combat athletes.

1. you must have health insurance to fight on Lei Tai.
2. you need the gear for practice- head gear, mouth piece, gloves, cup, hand wraps.

We will get together in several places: Silver Spring Maryland and in Northern Virginia: parks, high school track, and gym with mats for throwing practice.
