What is Combat Fitness?
- Combat Fitness is our newest program! This class meets twice a week. On Monday's we have our Boxing/Kickboxing class (note, this is not a "cardio class", we really teach you how to box/Kickbox). On Wednesday we have a functional strength training class, which incorporate kettle bells, medicine balls, and other core strength training equipment (much like what our MMA fighter use to get in shape). Due to our ability to scale these work-outs, all fitness levels fit right in to this class. Within weeks you will notice a boost in your confidence and your fitness level will be at an all time high!
Do you offer classes for Kids?
- Our Kid's Classes are on hold for the moment, we plan to relaunch the entire youth program in the very near future.
Once we do, the OCSA will offer age specific training for our Little Soldier's (8-12 years) classes.
Our Youth classes teach techniques that will give your child the ability to control a bigger, stronger attacker using a multitude of techniques from Jiu-Jitsu, wrestling, boxing, & muay thai.
Most importantly, kids have fun in a safe, positive, & motivational environment. Not only that, but they will meet new friends and have a great time!
If you want your child to develop self confidence, better discipline, and high levels of fitness…then please contact us about checking out one of these classes for FREE starting in Fall 2012!
Do Women benefit from the classes at the Ohio Combat Sports Academy?
- Women will find that our classes give them distinct advantages over other martial arts, self-defense, or alternative fitness classes. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu’s reliance on leverage and technique over strength can help to overcome a larger & stronger opponent. During an assault, a woman could find herself forced to the ground. BJJ also emphasizes the use of escapes from bottom positions as well as the guard position. This position allows a subject trapped on the bottom during an assault, to control and incapacitate an attacker.
How are classes structured?
- At the OCSA, our structured classes begin with a warm up of stretching and calisthenics, then a series of related drills, followed by technique instruction, and finally a period of sparring (also known as "rolling").
What do I wear my first time (Intro Class) to class?
- The best thing to wear to your first class is a t-shirt and gym shorts. A mouthpiece is also recommended, although it's not required. It is also recommended that guys wear an athletic support.
