GAMA: Gaulton Academy of Martial Arts

Having fun last night in the Kali class. Continuing our stick/sword work on combination striking/slicing, the blitz series, then some cool stuff with tomahawk and dagger, before finishing the class off with some sparring.
Much fun was had by all ⚔️🪓😎

A few from classes and clients this week.
It’s so much fun mixing the arts and blending between Combatives, cool stuff and cultural arts.
Adapting for each clients needs.

A little Tuesday action, finishing off a solid month of Espada Y Daga (stick/sword and dagger) and a big focus on blending through the ranges.
Muay Thai had us working clinch and pad work conditioning. While Jeet Kune Do finished its focus on compound trapping fundamentals and trapping on the pads.
Everyone is looking much sharper. Great work team!
July is here now, so we start a new monthly focus in each of our classes, starting from this evening

Thursday:
18.00 - 19.00: GAMA Fit
19.00 - 20.00: Panantukan
20.00 - 21.00: Unarmed Tactics

See you on the mat folks!

Coach Steve

Another great Saturday in the bag
Trapping into grappling and kickboxing, followed by our continuation into stick/sword and dagger training. Yin Yoga finished off the Saturday classes with a well needed stretch, to end the weeks training.

A challenging workout.
Takedowns from Hubud using the forearm lever, going into reversing the grounded position for the person on the floor, in Panantukan class.
We finished the evening off with Unarmed Tactics, covering boxing fundamentals and sparring and how those movements are essential for defence using the tactical torch/pen and more sparring.
Great work team!

A hot and technical one on Tuesday, with Muay Thai glove drills, JKD trapping and joint locks, then we finished classes off with Espada y Daga drills and sparring
Much fun was had by all 😎

A little throwback to the old gym, around a decade ago (?).
Some faces still with me, some moved on, or moved away and one that we’ve lost 😞
It’s good to look back sometimes and see how far you/we’ve come 👍🏻👊🏻🙏🏻

Another great session at GAMA.
Jeet Kune Do trapping into takedowns, followed by continuing our focus on stick and dagger in the Kali class. We finished the classes off with a well needed Yin Yoga session with YogaConnect
Good times only

Yesterday we had the privilege of coming in to guest instruct last nights classes.
Although Mike is most well known as a self protection specialist, his pedigree in Muay Thai, JKD and Inosanto Kali shone through, as he took us all through three technical masterclasses covering kick counters, trapping (both off and on the pads) and edged weapon reaction training.
Much fun and hard work was had by all.
A massive thanks to Mike for such an amazing day 👊🏻🙏🏻
