Boxing & Muay Thai Striking Program
Boxing & Muay Thai at Calvert MMA Academy®
At Calvert MMA Academy®, part of Team Lineage and the broader Lineage Martial Arts family, our striking program focuses on technical skill, intelligent movement, and practical application.
This class blends the precision of Western Boxing with the devastating efficiency of Muay Thai, creating a complete striking foundation that improves your timing, balance, power, conditioning, and overall fighting ability.
This class is a great fit for anyone interested in striking, fitness, and adding strikes to their BJJ skill set. Whether your goal is self-defense, competition, improved conditioning, or becoming more comfortable on your feet, our striking program provides structured instruction in a supportive environment where everyone can improve.
Classes are led by Bill Duff, former NFL player and co-host of the History Channel’s Human Weapon, who brings decades of combat sports experience and coaching knowledge to every session.
