Boxing & Kick Boxing
All 195 countries have some form or another of combative science.
Of these, the most popular unarmed techniques in history have always been that of the striking arts. This could be due to their simplicity in nature and efficacy by which they can be performed. Or perhaps it is on behalf of the fact that even ancient man, before all else, would defend himself by delivering deadly blows to various parts of the body.
Humans have never been anything shy of predatorial creatures. One need not travel far to see that striking is an inherent part of the modus operandi of all people. One only need to comit themselves to the observation of small children. Once a child has reached beyond infancy, it will do more than scream to defend itself. It will begin to use its hands and feet against anyone it feels is threatening its complacency.
And whereas it might be quite easy for someone to just rise up and harm another, we are no longer an ancient race of people.
We, at the Martial Arts of Austin, feel that its imperative that anyone who wishes to learn how to defend themself receive that opportunity.
However, this does not mean we teach people how to create situations whereby barbaric disorderly conduct and savagery override one’s ability to choose self-control. Quite the opposite, we teach some of the most advance methods of percussion techniques such as striking with every part of the hand and arm as well as kicking with every part of the foot. But in contrast to purely antiquated series of movements, we teach our students the how AND the why of striking. And at the very induction of these body mechanics, students will quickly learn that while they certainly could be used for methods of extreme severity, they choose not to knowing that to react to a situation with a contentious response is a loss of self-control. And although we teach modern approaches to everyday AND rare confrontations (fights that break out in bars/clubs, dealing with domestic violence, safety when going to your vehicle at night, walking home alone, the common jerk at the office, stalkers, burglars, and so many more), we expound to our students the necessity to prepare and sharpen our awareness that we may never run into many of these avoidable situationsin the first place.
