What to expect

Adult sessions last for one hour and are designed to offer a well-rounded experience. During this time, you’ll engage in a variety of activities aimed at improving your overall fitness and mastering the sport of boxing. These sessions typically include technical drills, pad work, and conditioning exercises, all tailored to help you develop your boxing skills to a high standard. Whether you’re a beginner or have some experience, the sessions are structured to ensure continuous progress, allowing you to challenge yourself, enhance your fitness level, and gain a deeper understanding of the sport.

1. Kick off

We start with a 15-minute fitness and warm-up period, incorporating core and physical traing, we also include activities like skipping and footwork exercises in this period. This initial phase helps to get you moving, increase your heart rate, and prepare your body for the more intensive boxing work ahead.

2. Session core

The core of the session, lasting about 35-40 minutes, is dedicated to boxing. You’ll focus on mastering the fundamentals of the sport, including footwork, punching techniques, defense, and movement. These skills are developed through a combination of technical drills, pad work, and conditioning exercises. Each session is tailored to push your abilities, offering both physical and mental challenges to ensure continuous growth.

3. Wrap it up

The session concludes with a focused 5-10 minute stretching routine to improve flexibility and aid muscle recovery. This cool-down phase ensures that your body transitions smoothly after the workout, helping prevent injury and enhancing your mobility.
