Your First Class
Here's exactly what to expect — no surprises.
Arrive & Connect
Show up 10 minutes early. We'll introduce you to the community, get you set up with loaner gloves, and walk you through the basics.
Warm Up & Technique
We start with a dynamic warm-up to prevent injury. Then, we break down your stance, footwork, and how to throw a proper punch safely.
Bag Work & Drills
Zero hard sparring. You'll hit the heavy bags and focus mitts, building power, speed, and real combinations at your own pace.
Conditioning Burnout
We finish strong with a full-body conditioning circuit. Push-ups, core work, footwork drills — you'll leave feeling accomplished.
