WCMAC Results: Posener’s Martial Arts Vancouver- Jiu-Jitsu and Kicboxing

 
 

 
Here are the results from the Western Canadian Martial Arts Championships, WCMAC, at BCIT today, October 21 ’17 for Posener’s Martial Arts Vancouver.
 
 
Adam Posener: Double Gold in Gi and No Gi Jiu-Jitsu. 4 fights and four submissions. Due to the fact that there are 2 other Jiu-Jitsu tournaments this weekend and another Jiu-Jitsu tournament cancelled, it would have been nice to have seen a bigger turnout for the grappling divisions.
 
 
Jonathan Chan: Double Silver in Gi and No gi Jiu-Jitsu. There was no one in Jonathan’s division so he had to move up one or two weight divisions, which he did gladly with the perspective of getting experience and challenge. He had a nice armbar submission and worked hard in his other matches.
 
 
Lance Kawi: Bronze in Kickboxing. In this kickboxing division there was a very large turnout. In fact they had to split up the division because there was so many competitors. Lance had 2 wins and one loss. I felt Lance has improved in each of his 3 outings in Kickboxing competition and happy to have got some experience and challenge.
 
 
 
Great work you guys. It is always exciting to get some challenge and experience. Looking forward to further training and progress. Some exciting ideas coming up. Please stay tuned.
 
 
Special Thank you for the supporters, great Instructor team, Costa Rojas, George Kassimatis, Emilio Ditrocchio, Chris Toews, Andrew De Leon, Gus Rodriquez and the rest of the team;  and Hayden Francis and Roll Jiu-Jitsu for the training in the Gi BJJ program.
 
 
Here is some information on our 2 types of Kickboxing programs for Posener’s Martial Arts Vancouver.
 
Kickboxing Vancouver

---

We have two types of Kickboxing programs at our school:
Muay Thai Kickboxing and Cardio Muay Thai Kickboxing.
Here is a brief description of the two programs and their differences:

Muay Thai Kickboxing:

Our traditional Muay Thai Kickboxing Vancouver program develops the main benefits of Self Defense, Fitness, Mental Discipline and Sport. Our Muay Thai Kickboxing Vancouver program utilizes techniques and principles from the Thai tradition, Dutch Kickboxing methods, Japanese methods and principles, and concepts and techniques from Western Boxing. Our style, which has been taught by Simon Posener, who has been training for almost 35 years and teaching full time for 25 years, is constantly evolving and improving, as that is our original goal. The desire to grow, evolve and improve is constant.  The instructors are experienced, personable, knowledgeable and have a passion for teaching the art and improving teaching methods and techniques. We have a long history of producing excellent mixed martial artists and champions of Muay Thai Kickboxing and Pankration / MMA.
 
One of the main differences between the Muay Thai Kickboxing Vancouver program and the Cardio Muay Thai Kickboxing Vancouver program is the application of progressive levels of contact sparring, which occurs in the traditional class. Stylistically, the classes are similar. The traditional Muay Thai class is Fitness and Combat intensive. The Cardio Muay Thai Kickboxing class is more Fitness and technique intensive and less sparring intensive.
 
In the Traditional class once a student learns the A,B,C’s of defense, which are the  basic defenses from the main strikes used in Muay Thai, which are very important for developing confidence, the basic footwork patterns, and the execution of the basic strikes and clinches, a student will learn progressive levels of contact sparring. Sparring is a requirement for progress in the system. At the beginning levels the sparring is light to medium contact and at the advanced levels a student will participate in full contact, full Muay Thai sparring. Individual differences are considered in the timing and onset of sparring. Progress is also based on the individual, as everyone is unique in their goals and challenges,  and they are compared to their own progress.  Once a student is comfortable with the basics and has a desire to spar, with instructor approval, a graduated method will be started. The benefits of sparring are many. A student will learn to handle pressure of various types, develop physical and mental discipline,  and get a great workout. The pressure from contact sparring is also very important in application of self defense techniques, which are also a part of the curriculum. Self defense applications are taught within the classes and other classes within the school. Also, the Muay Thai sparring will benefit the competitive aspect of Muay Thai Kickboxing, Western Kickboxing, Shootboxing, Sanshou and Pankration/MMA.
 
Our goal in the training is to develop the technique and spirit of the art to the highest level, build camaraderie, and develop a student’s full, balanced, personal potential.
 
We are offering a free week trial at the school, so you can try us out and see how we can benefit you and help you achieve your goals, or simply enroll today. 
 

 

Cardio Muay Thai Kickboxing

The Cardio Muay Thai Kickboxing Vancouver program develops the main benefits of Self Defense, Fitness and Mental Discipline. This program is stylistically the same as the traditional Muay Thai Kickboxing class but does not have the goal of hard contact sparring or direct Sport application. However, many of the competitors and students who participate in the traditional Muay Thai Kickboxing program also participate in the Cardio Muay Thai Kickboxing class because it is an excellent workout and will, without question, improve fitness levels and will provide an opportunity for further skill development. The classes are less formal, done to music, and do not have the pressure of full contact sparring. It is a focused class with the goal of developing skills and peak fitness levels. Advancement in the program is based on a progressive 10 level system. Students advance in the curriculum based on attendance, which is the most important aspect especially within the beginning levels, skill development, and personal fitness level improvements. The advancement of the student is based on their own progress, as everyone has unique challenges and goals.
