Ritchie Yip is the brains behind The Precision Kickboxing Masterclass, and in this episode he and I sat down to discuss the path to kickboxing mastery.
Too many beginners feel great when they’re hitting the pads only to have everything fall apart the very first time they spar. Sparring can be a completely different beast from just drilling technique, and the transition can be incredibly frustrating.
That’s why a huge emphasis in today’s conversation was about the right way to approach sparring so you learn it effectively and safely.
We explore why it’s so hard to transition from from hitting pads to full on sparring, how to avoid head injuries while kickboxing, the importance of continual learning, how to avoid getting tired, and the best ways to have low risk training with high benefit.
Here’s all this information in video form (and the audio-only format is below that)…
