Details: We circle up and bow-in at the beginning and end of each class. We bow to direct our focus and clarify our intention to train intelligently and effectively. Also, to show respect to ourselves, our training partners, teachers, students and whomever else one may choose to include. As one stands in the team circle, one bows to the center, to one’s own center. We say “Team!” when we bow in. We could just as well say “Family!” The point is that while we are practicing, whether learning a submission hold, playing tag or drilling a technique or, eventually, ‘rolling’ (controlled sparring), we are not in a competition. This is not a ‘fight club’. We are taking care of ourselves and one another. We will only do a move or movement if we are sure it will cause no harm to our partner. Note, even in sparring, we have partners, not opponents.

Details: Redline Fight Sports was founded in Boston as Boston San Shou and exclusively taught Chinese Kickboxing. At the beginning it was not a business but rather a club, founded by a group of friends who wanted a place to train and prepare for competitions. Soon after, Boston San Shou became well for known their high level striking and needed to space to grow. Eventually Boston San Shou moved to Cambridge and became Redline Fight Sports. Along with the new location and name, Redline also opened its doors to other martial arts such as bjj, wrestling, boxing, and kickboxing. Since then, we here at Redline strive to balance competitive martial arts with fitness to create a nurturing and inclusive environment where students can choose to pursue their own path as martial artists. We are not just a martial arts gym, we are a family.
