Here at Driftless Academy our striking program and classes take an integrative approach to the primary stand up fighting styles. We lay the foundation with the footwork, movement and punching of Western Boxing, which is fused with the high paced offensive techniques of Dutch Kickboxing. Finally, we incorporate the most effective striking art in Muay Thai- utilizing the clinch, knees, elbows, and kicks to complete a comprehensive fighting style. We offer classes specific to each if you have a particular focus!
