Sparology

To become competent at sparring/fighting, ordinary people, like most of our students, need to spend time actually sparring. However, when real contact begins, the attrition rate for school and gyms nation wide is around 80%. With that problem in mind, the actual anatomy of the Sparring/Fight oriented classes has been revolutionized and is now available to you.

Sparology uses unique and cutting edge methodology that teaches School Owners, Instructors and Coaches how to design and implement a safe, fun and effective sparring/fighting in a structured, step-by-step protocol. Sparology systematically addresses each of the problems that tend to plague and ultimately doom a Sparring/Fighting class. By virtue of structuring the classes in a "scaffolded" fashion, that is, in a way that limits the level of contact and progressively adds more resistance as the athlete starts to develop targeted skill sets, athletes have time to develop with confidence and not become frustrated or overwhelmed.

The Sparology structure depends heavily upon participants spending copious time in specific, though limited sparring situations. As the athlete develops in these situations and becomes more competent, more variables are added to the situations such that the athlete is always progressing, but doing so in a strength-based fashion. This lends itself to a very well rounded skill set, but also to a level a comfort that adds to overall program retention.

The actual curriculum of Sparology borrows very heavily from the foundations of Wrestling, Muay Thai and Boxing and steeped very deeply in each of the respective training methodologies. And, as athletes progress through the curriculum, they are exposed to more depth with respect to the mechanics of each of these specific systems, but more importantly begin to map out the parallels between them. This "matrix" allows each athlete to forge a personal pathway or style, and as the old saying goes: "Styles Make Fights!"
