For over a decade, Titan Fitness(formerly State College Martial Arts Academy), has developed a proud tradition of the Centre Region’s original Authentic Women Kickboxing program.

Originating in 1997, the class continues to be one of Titan Fitness most popular and recognized programs.  Well over a thousand women have benefited physically and mentally from the unique quality of instruction this program offers.

The instruction is based on the techniques of Muay Thai Kickboxing.  Muay Thai is well recognized around the world as the most effective and practical kickboxing system for sport or self-defense.  Otherwise referred to as the eight-point fighting system, Muay Thai not only utilizes punches and kicks, but also, elbows and knees!

A fitness workout like no other.  Great for all individual fitness levels!!

Titan Fitness offers a FREE LESSON to all curious or interested participants!

Titan Fitness & Martial Arts is presently accepting new students for summer classes.  Those classes include mixed martial arts, women’s kickboxing, Filipino martial arts, and boxing.  If you are interested in any of these programs, contact us at 814/235-1015 or via email at info@titanfitness.com to schedule your free lesson.  Classes for existing students start during the week of May 18 with beginners classes starting the following week on Tuesday, May 26 (Titan is closed Monday, May 25 for Memorial Day).

Please visit our website for the class of your choice.  You can then check our summer schedule to see if the class fits your availability.  We look forward to a great summer and hope you will be a part of it with us at Titan Fitness.

As reported on April 20, Allison Glenny won her Thai Boxing debut at a U.S.K.A. event in Hamburg, PA.  Enjoy Allison’s dominating performance.

As reported in an April 20 blog post, Kristen Althouse competed in a U.S.K.A. sanctioned Thai Boxing event in Hamburg, PA.  Her fight was one of the most exciting of the night and was judged a draw.  Enjoy the great effort put up by Kristen.

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.
