About
Russ Williams Thai Kickboxing & MMA Classes is a renowned kickboxing school located in Mould, Wales. The founder, Russ Williams, is a former World Kickboxing and European Thai Champion who trained at Master Toddy's in Thailand. With his extensive experience and expertise, Russ is dedicated to providing top-notch kickboxing and MMA classes to individuals of all ages and skill levels.
The school offers a variety of classes to cater to different needs and preferences. Thai boxing classes are designed to improve fitness levels, aid in weight loss, and tone the body. Participants learn a range of techniques including kicking, punching, knee strikes, elbow strikes, tripping, throwing, and trapping. In addition to the physical benefits, Thai boxing also equips students with practical self-defence techniques.
Classes are held at two locations: one above PennyBlack in Wrexham and another on the Square in Caerwys. The schedule is flexible and accommodates individuals of all age groups. New starter classes are available for 13-year-olds and above, while special junior classes cater to children between the ages of 4 and 12. There are also joint junior and senior classes for those who prefer to train together.
Each class is structured and led by experienced instructors. The training typically starts with warm-up exercises such as skipping or jogging. The instructor then guides students through basic stretching exercises targeting the entire body. The class is then divided into various rounds, focusing on strikes to pads or punch bags, as well as technique and defence skills.
The session concludes with some basic exercises and cool-down stretching. For those seeking additional training, advanced sessions are available.
Russ Williams has pioneered a grading system for Thai boxing and kickboxing in Wales. He also assists other instructors in implementing effective grading systems through workshops and consultations. Club gradings take place four times a year, and students who pass are awarded certificates and grading reports to support their progress. However, participation in gradings is voluntary, allowing individuals to decide if they want to pursue this aspect of their training.
