Class Description

Classes are split into effectively three sections.

First Section

We spend the first section of class warming up, which includes stretching and strength training.

Second Section

The second section consists of fundamentals – punching and kicking. In this portion only shadow boxing – striking an imagined target – is practiced.

Third Section

During the third section we practice various techniques that expand on the fundamentals. Often in this portion students will work with one another. However, actual body contact* is very rare and is far more often the result of a mistake made by one or both students than something required of them.

*Body contact is here being used to mean movements with force striking the body as adverse to making contact with the arms.
