Ippon Gym

At Ippon Gym we believe that hard work and strict policy bring the best results. Our classes are taught in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere so that your time training is both enjoyable and productive. Our trainers, Bernie Mendieta, Harry Baker and Sally McCarthy are one of the best and the most experienced Muay Thai Fighters in the area and passionate about teaching the most effective techniques and building an army of fighters.

Monday and Wednesday classes focus on drilling thai boxing technique and sparring (optional). Drilling with another person simulates real combat and gives you the ability to improve all the skills incorporated in Muay Thai by practicing timing, distance, proper cadence, and accuracy, to name a few. Saturday’s high intensity Muay Thai circuit training incorporates fast working exercises using weights, medicine balls, dumbbells and punch bags. The whole workout is a full mix of using all the regular punch bags, speed balls, run/sprints and pad drills to work those important techniques.

Muay Thai works to build up stamina and endurance and makes a person courageous and fearless but at the same time honest and compassionate.

Equipment

You’ll need shorts and a t-shirt, wraps, gloves, shin pads and a mouth guard. We do have some spare gloves and shin pads you can borrow for your first few classes.

Trail lessons

Our MMA sessions combine Muay Thai, Boxing, Kickboxing, Grappling, Boxing and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. This is a full contact sport so be ready for some hard work and up-close fighting techniques. Classes are taught by Pro MMA Fighter Andy Kerr.

All classes start with a energetic conditioning warm up after which the instructor demonstrates various techniques, set ups and positions. Students will then drill these and use them in the sparring that follows. If you have a full membership or/and you want to work on individual martial art you can join our Muay Thai and BJJ classes.
