At Combatives Unlimited, the STX (Savate-Thai Cross Training) program is a hybrid striking system developed by Erik Paulson which focuses on explosive techniques in Boxing, Panatukan, Jun Fan/JKD Kickboxing, Savate, and Muay Thai (Thai & Dutch methods). In STX Kickboxing, students will learn a blend of elbows, punches and knees from each art.  These skills are easily translated in MMA, kickboxing, and self-defense situations. From glove drills, focus mitts, Thai-pads, to sparring, Combatives Unlimited students will have a variety of striking options.

​

From Savate, STX draws its footwork and evasiveness. Savate is known for incorporating longer range kicks and constantly moving which makes you harder to hit and allows attack at multiple angles. Training with Combatives Unlimited  will demonstrate how STX can also capitalize on Savate's many fakes and set-ups so that the opponent is constantly guessing as to which attack is real and what is just a misleading fake. Following the evasive attacks is a system of extremely fluid combinations that help to allow the fighter to land more hits than the opponent while moving in and out of range. On defense, STX draws from some of the unique defense and counter techniques that help to keep your opponent out of their game and help you to set up your shots more strategically.
