Coach Xavier and Coach Sydney working Dutch kickboxing high kicks, footwork, and the check-and-cover defense that shuts them down.
A well-timed head kick can end a fight in seconds. Few techniques demand more from your hips, your balance, and your timing, and few pay off as much when they land.
In a self-defense context we throw them more sparingly. But the mechanics you build training a high kick, mobility, base, timing, carry straight into everything else you do standing up. And knowing how to check and cover one matters just as much as knowing how to throw it.
Improve your striking with Dutch Kickboxing at Forge. Tuesdays 6pm, Fridays 12pm, Saturdays 9am. Included in your Forge membership.

One of the reasons we like arm drags for self-defense? They offer a lot of upside without requiring a lot of risk.
This week, Coach Evandro demonstrates an arm drag to a double leg takedown:• Arm drag• Control the hips• Lift the leg• Drop your outside hand to block the knee• Drive through for the takedown
Even if the arm drag doesn’t lead to the takedown, you’ve often improved your position without exposing yourself to much danger. When it does work, you stay on your feet while your attacker ends up on the ground—giving you more options to disengage if that’s the safest choice.
