SAPT Defensive Combatives Academy

Defensive Combatives Course

Leo Napper — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 02:05:22 +0000

SAPT is starting a new Defensive Combatives Course that delves into high-risk defensive education. In other words, how to STOP an attacker in his tracks regardless of your size. We go into unarmed combat, as well as, against an attacker armed with knife or firearm!

The price is the best part. Because we are just rolling this program out we want as many people from as many demographics to come and learn.

For 8 weeks of training the fee is $80! The course will begin this month so sign up soon via email confirmation, onicombat@gmail.com.

We look forward to training with you!

Wow, losing weight like crazy just because…

Leo Napper — Sat, 18 Jul 2009 21:12:50 +0000

1) I consider food my high-performance body’s fuel instead of just delicious “me-time.”

2) I train just a little bit harder than usual.

3) I have Sarah’s accountability keeping me on track and taking down my numbers (I always did hate math.)

Why you ask? Because I am competing in my first Jiu Jitsu tournament in three weeks. The 2009 Copa Nova Brazillian Jiu jitsu Competitions held at the Dulles Sportplex in Sterling, Virginia. I have been to this comp as a spectator and now it’s time to compete.

I have been concentrating only on Muay Thai for the past three years and just kinda sluffing along in BJJ, but if I want to master this art I will have to put in the effort now. Competing in a comp is one way a person can get serious in training. The thought of having to use your art against someone else of equal competence always seems to be the best motivation.

2009 Copa Nova > Saturday, August 1st, 2009.

Authentic Muay Thai Program at SAPT: Student Athlete Performance Training in Fairfax

Leo Napper — Sat, 30 May 2009 23:53:48 +0000

While out looking for a t-shirt printing service that doesn’t suck, I happened upon a gym that looked like it turned out monsters. When I walked in and talked to owner, GMU strength coach Sarah Wells, I found out these monsters are high-school and collegiate athletes.

SAPT (the gym in question) had that feel of a place where real business is conducted. You won’t find people drinking over-priced designer water stepping away on a treadmill; this gym is all about results. If it can’t be measured then it’s worthless and that is a gym that I want to be a part of!

Sarah told me that she was looking to start a program designed for fighters (Muay Thai, MMA, BJJ), and I believe that between her passions as a strength coach and her 4000 sqft. facility, an amazing fight program is just what she’ll have.

We are talking right now about who to bring in to make this happen effectively, but so far things are looking great! Between Coach Leo’s affiliation with Phuket, Thailand Thai Boxer Kru Sean Douglas and Sarah Walls’ no-nonsense performance training center; Fairfax, Virginia will finally become home to authentic Muay Thai Kickboxing!

Don wants to fight!

Leo Napper — Thu, 21 May 2009 14:26:02 +0000

Don has been training off and on for the past year and recently committed himself to hard, consistent training. As soon as Bronze Age HPT found it’s new home in Fairfax Corner, Don jumped all over the opportunity to train Muay Thai on a regular, grueling basis. Don has also announced that he wants to get into the ring, so now training will be taken to a whole new level. Check back for video updates on Don’s progression from beginner to warrior!

We are looking for a BJJ instructor!

Leo Napper — Tue, 05 May 2009 21:08:25 +0000

You’ve got to be able to teach the basics ( blue belt and above) of a Gracie BJJ system.

Bronze Age HPT wants to offer our students a ground game education.
If you or someone you know qualifies and is interested, contact Leo via onicombat@gmail.com
