Titan Fitness & Martial Arts debuted its new television commercial during Spike TV’s UFC Live Fight Nights earlier this year.  The commercial features a fast-paced montage of the offerings at Titan to include Mixed Martial Arts, Women’s Kickboxing, Thai Boxing, Submission Grappling, Boxing, Filipino Martial Arts, and Elite Training.

The commercial is superbly paced by the song “Let ‘Em Go” by local band, The Clover.  Titan Fitness would like to express its gratitude to the band for the use of such a perfect song for the commercial.  You can visit this talented band’s My Space page at http://www.myspace.com/69leafclover to get more information about the band, sample their great original music, and view a schedule of upcoming appearances.

Kristen Althouse and Allison Glenny stepped into the ring at a United States Kickboxing Alliance (U.S.K.A.) Kickboxing and Muay Thai event held at the Hamburg Field House in Hamburg, PA this past Saturday night.  The event drew competitors from a number of schools in New York and Pennsylvania.

Allison won a convincing unanimous decision in her bout.  Allison showed great poise in her first-ever Thai fight utilizing a varied attack to keep her opponent off guard and on the defensive for the entire bout.

Kristen’s fight was one of the most exciting bouts of the night.  Kristen showed great perseverance as she withstood an initial barage of punches and kicks in the early stages of the fight before imposing her will and taking the fight to her opponent on the inside delivering an effective assault of knees that nearly broke her opponent.  The close fight was ruled a draw by the judges prompting the fight promoter to call for a rematch of the two combatants in July.

We at Titan Fitness & Martial Arts would like to congratulate both Kristen and Allison on their achievement and thank them for representing the gym as tenacious, yet classy and respectful competitors, the way combat athletes should carry themselves.

The Program

Muay Thai, translated into English as Thai Boxing, is the national sport of Thailand. It is well known for its devastating kicks, knees, and elbows. It is the primary stand up system trained by most UFC and other professional MMA fighters. This program focuses not only on the kickboxing elements of Muay Thai (punches, kicks, knees, elbows), but also heavily on the importance of the clinching (tie up) positions in this sport. The high intensity training in this class will result in superior conditioning for the martial athlete to be used in self-defense or in Muay Thai sport competition.
