COMBAT CONDITIONING

CSC is pleased to present our newest program- COMBAT CONDITIONING to our students! Combat Conditioning will consist of various group fitness classes and one-on-one personal training.

TRX suspension training is an approach to fitness training that uses a system of ropes and webbing called a "suspension trainer" to allow the user to work against their own body weight. TRX is a type of bodyweight exercise in which a variety of multi-planar, compound exercise movements can be performed. These are done with the aim of developing strength, balance, flexibility, and joint stability simultaneously. Suspension Training can be considered a type of resistance training.

Cardio kickboxing is the first fitness program based on professional kickboxing disciplines, coaching science, and mixed martial arts training concepts. Most cardio kickboxing classes begin with light stretches and a cardio warm up. Typical routines include a series of repetitive punches, hand strikes, kicks and other self-defense moves.

Yoga is a Hindu spiritual and ascetic discipline which includes breath control, simple meditation, and the adoption of specific bodily postures to improve the distance of motion of a joint, increasing flexibility, balance and core strength.



CSC's New Addition - Acupuncture & Natural Medicine
The Combat Sports Center family continues to grow, and we would like to tell you about Katie Lundberg. Katie is a doctor of Naturopathic Medicine (N.D.) and a licensed acupuncturist and herbalist. She studied Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (MSAOM) at Bastyr University in Seattle, Washington. In addition to her training at Bastyr, Katie completed an intensive program at Shuguang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Shanghai, China and recently completed a two-year homeopathic course through the New England School of Homeopathy.

Katie's education and training afford her the unique opportunity to view both disease and health from Eastern and Western perspectives. The focus of her practice is to help individuals optimize their health and performance. Anyone practicing martial arts has had at least one injury of which to speak. Oftentimes this injury, be it a back strain or an ankle sprain, is treated with painkillers and training continues. This merely masks the symptoms, increasing the likelihood for reinjury and comes with its own side effects. Other common complaints are nagging injuries, fatigue and other, more serious health-related problems. Acupuncture and naturopathic medicine can play a significant role in this correcting these problems, minimizing their symptoms and even preventing them from returning. Using the combination of herbs, acupuncture, homeopathy, diet and lifestyle modifications proves unmatched in its effectiveness.

Acupuncture sessions are available by appointment on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 10am-12pm and 5pm-7pm.
