CLASS STRUCTURE
We have designed our program to help guide students through a Beginner level of Boxing and beyond. You can train through the progression as follows:
ESSENTIALS
Beginner Level - Intro to the fundamentals that will help you develop The Essentials of Balance, Angles, Timing : Distance. At this level you will learn Stance, Footwork, all of your basic punches, basic combos, blocks and some head movement, while simultaneously improving your fitness. This is an 8 week series and each weeks instruction builds on the previous weeks information. Once the 8 weeks have been completed you can begin coming to Boxing classes. You can begin at any time in the series.
BOXING
Intermediate Level - Build on your foundation with more advanced footwork, more complex combos, more head movement, counterpunching, feints, further improve your fitness level and more. Most students will need to attend 3-6 months of Boxing classes in order to be invited to our Advanced level classes.
