Bob Spour is teaching on Sunday at 11am. £10 for members - Thai boxing. Bob is in Scotland teaching the USP course in Glasgow, details of which are on the USP section of the website.

Technique of The Week: Fundamental Jun Fan Kickboxing

Technique of The Week starts with this Fundamental Jun Fan Kickboxing drill required to go past the Phase 1 stage.

Look at this drill in three stages.

The Prefix is an entry and in this case we are using a kick to move from kicking range into punching range. The three kicks shown here are O'ou Tek, Jit Tek and Juk Tek.

Then in the middle we have the punches and the selection of the combination used are historical and considered suitable for learning in the best way, but later on can be changed to alternative choices. Ray here shows how good body mechanic and technique can generate power, so try not to hit hard as that will come in time. Concentrate on the flow.

The suffix moves back to the kicks with the padholder stepping back and out of punching range, back into kicking range. There are plenty of kicks to use but we are focusing on a default drill here. If the padholder doesn't step back then we could move into standing grappling range.

So work the drill and learn to flow between the two ranges in the three sections seamlessly. Repeat good technique and DO NOT substitute technique for power. Power will come in it's own time.

Want to be a movie star?

Ever wanted to be involved in the movies, this could be your start!

From the creators of Blue Dragon, this is a pilot that we shot in February 2009 in preparation for our fothcoming feature-length movie. We haven't invested in certain equipement therefore sound and lighting are issues that will be worked on, however this gives a flavour of what is to come.

This pilot is quite fast paced and features small action scenes throughout. We spent only a few hours on each action scene but this is just a very small taste of what we're aiming for and what we're capable of.

Comments and constructive criticism are very welcome. Also, if you live in Aberdeen or around the city, please contact me if you wish to be involved.
