Salam! I'm Reza, a personal trainer who coaches boxing, kickboxing, Muay Thai, jiu-jitsu and MMA.
For complete beginners and people who've trained for years.
One-to-one anywhere in Dubai, or online wherever you are.
Disciplines
Boxing
Hands up, chin down, and a jab that lands.
Boxing is where it starts: a stance you can trust, footwork that keeps you balanced and a jab that lands. We build it one round at a time.
- Stance, guard and footwork
- Jab, cross, hooks and uppercuts
- Slips, rolls and blocks
Kickboxing
Hands and feet in the same combination.
Kickboxing adds kicks to your hands: punches and kicks in the same combinations, with the footwork to tie them together.
- Punch and kick combinations
- Front kicks, roundhouse kicks and low kicks
- Checking and blocking kicks
Muay Thai
The art of eight limbs: fists, elbows, knees and shins.
Muay Thai is the art of eight limbs: fists, elbows, knees and shins. It's technical, tough and a lot of fun.
- Stance and rhythm
- Teeps, roundhouse kicks and knees
- Elbows and close-range work
Jiu-jitsu
Leverage over size, technique over strength.
Jiu-jitsu is the ground game: control, escapes and submissions, using leverage and technique rather than size.
- Positions and how to hold them
- Escapes from bad positions
- Sweeps and transitions
MMA
Striking, takedowns and the ground, joined up.
MMA puts it all together: striking, takedowns and the ground, and the moments in between.
- Striking that sets up takedowns
- Takedowns and takedown defence
- Getting back to your feet
Strength and conditioning
The engine behind the technique.
Strength and conditioning is the engine behind the technique: stronger legs, a solid core and the fitness to last the rounds.
- Strength sessions built around your goal
- Conditioning for rounds
- Mobility for kicks and grappling
Can't train in person? Online coaching works wherever you are.
Shadow round
Sixty seconds, no kit. I call the combinations, you throw them. Ready?
Shadowboxing only: no partner, no kit. Clear some space, go at your own pace, and save sprawls for a soft floor.
