TATSUJIN TRAINING SYSTEM
The Dutch Kickboxing certification for personal trainers.
An in person course that gives you a complete striking system: technique, pad work, and session structure, taught by the coaches behind 2,200+ certified trainers.
Delivered on location at gyms across South East Asia and Europe since 2015. You leave certified, with a curriculum you can run with clients the next day.
TATSUJIN TRAINING SYSTEM
Most personal trainers were never taught how to teach striking
Unsafe pad work
Holding pads badly injures clients and trainers. Without proper holding and feeding technique, every boxing session is a risk instead of a service.
No curriculum
A few combinations from YouTube is not a system. Clients plateau, sessions repeat themselves, and retention drops.
No credibility
Anyone can put on gloves. Without recognized certification, you cannot charge for striking sessions the way a specialist can.
The course
One course. A complete striking system.
The Tatsujin Kickboxing certification teaches you the Dutch Kickboxing method from the ground up, built for personal trainers, not fighters. Everything is structured so you can coach it safely with everyday clients.
