Class Description
Our high intensity classes physically and mentally challenge individuals in a fun and exiting way combining music, movement, and motivation in order that students reach their full potential while having a fun and enjoyable experience. Students are first motivated and pumped up with some of the latest sounds from our boom box system. We then proceed with varied warm up activities ranging from rope jumping and calisthenic exercises, to activities with dumbbells or medicine balls, followed by light flexibility. Students are then taught basic stance, footwork, and striking technique in order to maximize workout potential. Class participants then go right to the heavy bags learning proper range and distance to make room for dynamic and explosive punch and kick combinations with an emphasis placed on speed and power for a super cardio total body conditioning workout.
During a nonstop heavy bag workout routine that lasts from 30-40 minutes, instructors intermix various conditioning exercises (interval training) to build lung capacity and develop breathing patterns, as well as maintain an increased heart rate to promote a high calorie burn. Partner drills are taught and employed from time to time to enable students to use body and head movement to land punches as well as avoid them, striking at your partners gloves only which are used as targets (non contact). Skills are further sharpened and stamina increased with the use of punch mitt and punch shield floor workout routines with partners or coaches. Various calisthenic and plyometric strength and conditioning exercises are performed with an emphasis on core stability utilizing various gym equipment from strength bands to medicine balls and more. Classes conclude with cool down and advanced flexibility to increase range of motion and promote injury prevention.
