Padwork is an essential part of the NWKA syllabus. It develops body alignment and strength in striking techniques.
The Academy teaches techniques from a distance, close quarter and the ground.
Techniques
Techniques we teach include:
Punches
Kicks
Elbow strikes
Knee strikes
Closed hand strikes
Open hand strikes
Children’s classes are limited to kicks, knees, elbows and a limited amount of hand strikes. This is because all out fore-fist punching can be dangerous to growing bones and hand structures.
