Poughkeepsie Kung Fu


Kung Fu is defined as anything that has to be learned over a long period of time with patience, effort and energy.  It does not specifically mean a martial art.  In the west it is often considered a martial art, but in the east it is more of a way of life or thinking.  That does not mean that it can't be applied to martial arts.  Poughkeepsie Kung Fu can be the place you apply yourself and achieve your goals.

Poughkeepsie Martial Arts and Being Overweight



   I never had problems with my weight until my mid-30's. All through High School, my career in the United States Marine Corps and the decade after my honorable discharge, I was lean and never had to worry about what I ate. When I hit 35 years old, I quit smoking and put on about 70 pounds over the next year. 

   I started training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in April of 2008 at the age of 37 years old. In the first year, I lost 50 pounds. In another few months, I lost the rest of the extra weight I'd put on.

   I'm not superman, there was no secret diet and there wasn't any magic supplement that made it happen.

   Before I get into how Martial Arts training can help you lose weight, I want to point something out something very important. Being overweight at the age of 37 and being overweight in Middle or High School are two completely different things, and I understand that many, MANY other factors come into play in the latter - bullying, teasing, feelings of worthlessness and an overall lack of self-confidence or self worth. Dealing with those issues during your formative years can be very depressing and hard to deal with.

   The first and most obvious benefit of training Martial Arts when it comes to being overweight is getting your body moving and exercising. The physical exertion alone is going to get your metabolism cranking and your body will start to burn fat for the calories it needs to fuel itself.

   As you train and your body acclimates to the exertion, you will start to sleep better and feel more rested. While sleep is essential to overall health and feeling good, sleeping well is also going to help your body burn more fat. Your aerobic respiration will go up and contribute directly to an even better running metabolism.

   Your Martial Arts training will also teach you how to eat a clean and healthy diet. Cutting out the sugar, empty carbs and fatty food will force your body to burn fat at an ever greater rate than before. After a week or two of eating clean, you'll be adjusted to the dietary change and you will feel better than you have in a long time. Feeling better means you will be able to work harder in the gym, sleep better at night and lose even more weight.

   You will also make good friends during your training. won't to contribute directly to losing weight, but it will provide an incentive to work hard, stick to your game plan and reach your goals. Some of the best people I've met have been through training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and they push me to achieve my potential as hard as I push them.

   The last thing I wanted to mention is the discipline that will be instilled in you while training Martial Arts. That discipline will help you push through the hard training, resist the urges to eat things you shouldn't be eating and show up at the gym regularly. It's important to remember that this discipline will cross over to all aspects of your life - not just your Martial Arts training.

  I hope you make the choice to start training Martial Arts and stick to it. Through hard work, one can achieve anything imaginable.

   See you on the mats.

What is Muay Thai?

What is Muay Thai?

What is Muay Thai?  Muay Thai is an ancient style of martial arts that is primarily a striking art.  It has elbows, knees, kicks and punches in its large and dangerous arsenal of strikes.  The combinations available to a trained Muay Thai fighter are devastating in any fight.  One way in which Muay Thai is different, and in many ways more complete, is that it has always incorporated grappling in its training.  The Muay Thai clinch has wreaked havoc on those who don't understand how to defend it.  It is no surprise that Muay Thai has become one of the most  utilized martial arts in MMA and has produced many champions from within it's ranks.

Muay Thai was created in Thailand.  It has been a martial art and a big part of their cultural identity for centuries.  Many of Thailand's mythic heroes and folk lore revolve around legendary Muay Thai fighters.  Muay Thai is huge over there, on the level of baseball or football in America.  Kids start training it very young and make themselves into huge superstars in Thailand.  Muay Thai has spread to other parts of the world due in no small part to it's effectiveness in many international competitions.  

Muay Thai

Muay Thai is such a great striking art for three very important reasons.  There is no real hierarchy of techniques.  Punches aren't favored over kicks or anything like that.  Many martial arts do not use punches effectively and kicks are relied upon to much.  This makes for very low percentage kicks that have no setup.  Everything is designed to complement each other.  Every technique is used to set up another one.  Many different strikes can be thrown in combination and are often used that way.  This wide array of options gets really scary to face when you can't predict what is next.  Muay Thai also has strikes for every range a fight can be in.  Outside there are kicks and punches and in closer are knees and elbows.  The clinch is another huge strength of Muay Thai.  The inclusion of grappling into Muay Thai creates the possibility of devastatingly uneven exchanges.  This a the major point of separation between Muay Thai and other effective striking styles like boxing or karate.  When those fights get in close or grab on to each other they are separated and sometimes penalized, in Muay Thai they keep going and can land hard knees and elbows that can finish fights or they can dump their opponents onto the ground.

Lagrange Martial Arts


Children often times are simply not challenged enough in their time at school.  The classes and tests don't push them enough.  Some children are never have to call up that much effort to scrape by in school.  This lack of a challenge can lead to mediocre grades and chronic underachievement.  What these children need is a spark.  Lagrange Martial Arts can provide that spark and make your child into someone who is motivated and goal oriented, rather than someone who is complacent and easily satisfied with middling levels of achievement.
Lagrange Martial Arts

Schools in this day and age are not always the greatest place for certain children.  Many children fall through the cracks due to large class sizes and an emphasis on large scale standardized testing.  Children with intellect and creativity and other valuable skills are not challenged enough by the daily routine that schools provide.  Once these children realize that with little effort than can glide by without getting into trouble, school loses its importance in their lives.  They begin to underachieve and view school as a chore and not as the necessity that it is. These children need a new creative outlet.  They need to be challenged or they risk getting into lifelong bad habits that go along with underachieving.  No parent wants to see their child's potential squandered because they simply were not motivated properly.

Lagrange Martial Arts can provide the motivation for children who have found themselves in this predicament.  Lagrange Martial Arts has classes that are designed to teach discipline, focus and goal setting, among other important life skills.  Your child will get valuable one-on-one time with instructors at Lagrange Martial Arts that will force them to engage and not sit back and coast through class.  Lagrange Martial Arts teaches martial arts that require thinking and action.  No student at Lagrange Martial Arts will ever sit on the sidelines and watch.  This constant activity and involvement will make participation about more than just attendance.  Incentives such as belt promotion will make children want to go to class and put forth effort. Those who put forth effort will always be rewarded at Lagrange Martial Arts.  Lagrange Martial Arts also recognizes that academics are very important and our schedule reflects that by being built around the schedule of schools.  In class Lagrange Martial Arts also highlight success that happens outside the gym, especially in school.  This recognition of achievement is the best solution for an unmotivated child.

Lagrange Martial Arts

Lagrange Martial Arts provides a great learning environment for any type of child.  Many children have trouble learning in more traditional settings like schools.  The lack of physical activity can cause some children to become restless and lose focus and not get much out of the time spent in schools.  The current situation in schools has lead to larger class sizes, less one-on-one time with students and a phasing out of gym classes.  This can have dire consequences for any child, but will really hurt children who already struggle in school.  To combat this Lagrange Martial Arts has put together a program that will make your child more attentive and will increase their ability to learn.  
Lagrange Martial Arts

Any parent can tell you that children can be very energetic.  Their minds are like sponges that just soak up information.  This combination is a powerful learning tool, but without the right setting it is useless.  Children who struggle with behavior or attentiveness in school need an outlet for this mental and physical energy that they often can't find.  Lagrange Martial Arts will be that outlet for these children.  The classes are fast paced but structured.  They let children do something both physically and mentally difficult.  This combination of the physical and mental is the best way to take a child with attention problems and turn them into focused and driven young adults.  

Lagrange Martial Arts will provide your child with an excellent place to grow.  The children with extra energy and active minds who are told that this is a disadvantage are shown the positive aspects of the way they are.  These children who are marginalized in schools will be welcomed into Lagrange Martial Arts and will thrive here.  This boost in confidence comes with a new label.  Instead of be called a "problem" or being told they are "not good enough", they are become winners and know it.

Martial Arts For Children

Martial Arts for children can be a great way to achieve athletic goals in a setting away from traditional team sports.  For a number of reasons Martial Arts for Children can be a great place for kids who do not fit into the rather narrow idea of athlete that pervades much of our society.  Many children aren't considered big and tall enough or fast and strong enough to make contributions to the team.  Children can be left without the enriching experience that can be such a big part of their lives.  Martial Arts for Children is the remedy for this problem.

Some of the more typical team sports, like football, baseball, soccer or basketball, place a big emphasis on being big and strong.  The star athlete is whoever is the first to go through a growth spurt.  To much attention is paid to physical attributes at the expense of other traits that are more enduring and important in other areas of life. Very little attention is paid to things like attitude, maturity and self-motivation.  These essential skills are overlooked for temporary size and athletic advantages.  The mental side of achievement is passed over almost completely for the physical side.  As a result children with a depth of maturity miss out on what could be a memorable and valuable experience.

Martial Arts for Children
Martial Arts for Children is a place for kids who have been left behind by the more traditional sports.  The classes are for every kind of student.  Your child doesn't have to be the strongest, biggest, tallest, fastest kid in their grade to have athletic achievements in Martial Arts for Children.  The benefits of a team and individual sport are gained at the same time at Martial Arts For Children.  Your child will work with other children and the coaches to make their goals a reality.  They will be able to practice and compete in both a team and individual setting.  The competitions have weight classes to insure the safety and competitive aspects of sport are retained.  The classes at Martial Arts for Children focus on being technically sound and not only merely being a freak athlete.

Poughkeepsie Martial Arts School

Poughkeepsie Martial Arts School
Poughkeepsie Martial Arts School is not your typical dojo.  Poughkeepsie Martial Arts School is a place to learn, without the fetters of the ultra-traditional martial arts gym.  Many of these older gyms have a rigid adherence to techniques and philosophies that leave much to be desired.  For most of my life I viewed these gyms with ambivalence.  They were places I viewed as silly.  The arts they taught were odd and ineffective.  Martial Arts are supposed to teach self-defense and discipline, but so often these typical schools came up short.  Poughkeepsie Martial Arts School changed by perspective completely.  I found a place that delivered on the promise of Martial Arts.

Poughkeepsie Martial Arts School offers classes in Judo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, Wrestling and Boxing.  All of these arts are amazing for self-defense.  Muay Thai and boxing are the best striking arts there are.  To see a boxer jabbing or dodging a punch is to see one of the most simple and brilliant offensive and defensive striking styles.  When a Muay Thai practitioner makes use of the expansive arsenal at their disposal or clinch their opponent, you see the most devastating strikes around.  Wrestling and Judo have take downs and control that no other art offers.  A good wrestler or Judoka can take the fight where they wish.  Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu offers so many submissions and positions on the ground.  To go to the mat with a BJJ blackbelt is to be in constant danger.  All these arts are availible at Poughkeepsie Martial Arts School. 

Many other gyms only offer one discipline or offer more than one but with less qualified instructors.  The teachers at Poughkeepsie Martial Arts School have all been practicing their art for years before they start to teach.  They have all tested themselves in competitions as well.  In addition to this they all know how to instruct.  It is one thing to know how to do something, it is something different entirely to know how to teach that something.  Many of our instructors still take classes and are students themselves.  There is something very humble and honest about someone who has attained a high level of proficiency in one art and still goes out to learn another.

So if you are looking for a Martial Arts School that delivers, come into Poughkeepsie Martial arts School.  Call us at 845-392-8495, email us at precisionmma@gmail.com or click here.

Poughkeepsie Mixed Martial Arts

MMA in Poughkeepsie, NY

Brought to the United States in 1993 by the Gracie family via the UFC, Mixed Martial Arts quickly became one of the most popular sports in the world.  It's still considered the fastest growing sport in the word today.

Mixed Martial Arts, as its name implies, utilized a myriad disciplines and styles to create the most effective hand to hand fighting system ever invented.  In the early days of MMA, many practitioners specialized in one style and crossed over after success there in order to compete in the UFC or Pride FC.  They cross trained, but most still stuck to their roots.  Now, a new breed of fighter is starting to emerge: Men who grew up in a world where Mixed Martial Arts existed and were able to train in the hybrid art from the very beginning.  In order to make it in the current state of MMA, fighters have to cross train from an early age.  In some gyms, this can be hard to do because they only have instructors qualified in one martial art.
