25.01.2022 ‘Team’ Although Muay Thai in an individual sport, the need for a team can not be any more important. Throughout the year these students (plus a few more who were not here today) have turned up week on week no matter what, and they are turning up each other, in order to help improve the collective level.... It’s this commitment that has shown huge improvements this year, even with the COVID lockdown disruption. Across all Training Grounds disciplines (Boxing, BJJ & Muay Thai) we see these teams forming & pushing each other, and we love the sense of community that it creates.

15.01.2022 SPACES AVAILABLE for our Women’s Self Defence sessions this weekend! Violence against women is at epidemic proportions and devastatingly, over 12 months, on average, one woman is killed every week in Australia. And the women lost are not just statistics they are wives, mothers, daughters, grand-daughters, sisters, aunts, nieces, friends and colleagues. Most importantly, they are people, and the impact of the violence perpetrated against them is widespread and long-standing.... We are holding these events to help break the silence around the violence, and to raise funds to support the work White Ribbon do to educate the community about violence towards women. So if you can, please spread the word and come and support these events. You will not only learn some simple defence techniques, but you will be making a difference for the wider community. Event details for our TG Crows Nest event tomorrow are in our bio. Details for Sunday’s @traininggroundsdrummoyne event are in their bio.

15.01.2022 Last night we held the first of 3 seminars with @jeremypaulskinner , where we worked the finer details of the saddle & finishing. We are all looking forward to next weeks 50/50 seminar. Thanks for dropping a lot of knowledge & spending the time with us @jeremypaulskinner

13.01.2022 As we gear up to say goodbye (and good riddance) to 2020, we wanted to acknowledge that while it’s been a tough year for so many of us, there is still a lot to be proud of within our Training Grounds community. Here are just some of the epic highlights worth celebrating this year: Among the many outstanding promotions within our BJJ community throughout the year, it was a true highlight to see Eric and Tim both receive their black belts this year. ... Training Grounds Drummoyne had a relaunch, as they moved into a larger space. With more space came some new faces & more classes, so they’ve launched their own Muay Thai and Boxing programs. Sarah began our Women’s BJJ class, which has seen a solid number of our TG Women attend over the last few months. We began our new Wrestling program in conjunction with The Wrestling Foundation, and the program is proving to be very popular amongst our members. Our boxing program has gone from strength to strength: Despite not being able to compete this year, the boxing team has made significant strides, training throughout lockdown and travelling throughout Sydney for invaluable rounds. The camaraderie and commitment to themselves, each other and the programme means the squad will be walking into 2021 in their best form. For the rest of our TG community we’ve seen so much progression from you that we have been able to expand our timetable and add in a range of classes that now truly covers all levels of your training. We look forward to developing our timetable further in the New Year. So yeah, it’s been a crazy year, but as you can see there is still plenty to celebrate at Training Grounds. We want to thank all of our coaches and members for your passion, energy and ability to show up and give it your all. We wouldn’t be here without you, and we acknowledge that you guys are what makes Training Grounds such an epic community. Follow along to hear all about what we have planned for next year, but stay safe & have a great New Year

02.01.2022 #tgtutorials MUAY THAI In this clip Scott runs through the Pressure Low Kick drill. The Pressure Drill ... A drill designed for keeping the pressure on your opponent using footwork, constant hands & various low kicks. The aim is to not back away, and not give an inch in order to break your opponent physically & mentally. Step 1. Start with straight punches and low kicks whilst sticking to your partner. Concentrate on correct footwork, stance & a high guard. Step 2. Add in the body shots. This should be a drill worked at intensity but always concentrating on the proper form.
