Striking Program
World-class striking for fitness, self-defense, and MMA. No experience needed, no barriers. Just come and have fun.
What Is It?
Kickboxing and Muay Thai are stand-up striking arts that use punches, kicks, knees, and elbows. Muay Thai, born centuries ago in Thailand and known as the Art of Eight Limbs, is widely considered the most complete striking system ever developed. Kickboxing blends those weapons with western boxing footwork and combinations into a fast, fun, devastatingly effective style.
Watch any UFC event and you will see it: the striking that wins world titles is built on kickboxing and Muay Thai. Fighters like Anderson Silva, Israel Adesanya, and Alex Pereira made these arts famous at the highest level. At Wanderley, the same fundamentals that work in the cage are taught in a way anyone can learn, and they tie directly into our BJJ and MMA programs for students who want the complete game.
You do not need a single day of experience to start. Classes scale to your level, sparring is always optional, and the room is famous for making beginners feel at home. No barriers, just come and have fun.
Why Train Striking?
There is a reason boxers and kickboxers are among the best-conditioned athletes in the world. Hitting pads and bags torches calories, builds explosive full-body power, and melts stress like nothing else. An hour flies by, and you leave every class drenched, smiling, and sharper than when you walked in.
Along the way you develop real, usable self-defense skills: how to move, how to keep distance, how to strike with power, and how to stay calm under pressure. Whether your goal is fitness, confidence, or one day competing, the path starts with your first class.
The Wanderley Difference
Our striking program is led by Coach Jordan Mapa, a professional MMA fighter with a 7-4 record and 6 finishes. Jordan has taught at world-class gyms such as Roufusport and has experience training international athletes, which means the striking you learn here is the same striking proven at the highest levels of the sport.
What makes Jordan special is not just the resume, it is the way he coaches. Friendly, patient, and deeply experienced, he welcomes moms, dads, kids, first-timers, and fighters into the same room, and every single one of them gets better. Nobody makes striking this technical, this safe, and this fun.
