You have a lot of choices in your quest to get fit and healthy. Finding the right program can be an exercise in trial and error, and you do not want to join a gym only to find after a few sessions that it is not for you.
We have a solution that will not make you commit to signing a contract before you know whether you like our program. Our Intro to Boxing program will let you experience the sport and become as enthralled as we are with it. We even provide gloves so you can come as you are, ready for a friendly, fulfilling boxing workout that begins with basic punches, defensive techniques, and footwork.
The program costs $75 and gloves and wraps are included, so you will not have to invest in equipment before you are sure you want to make the commitment. This group program is a great way to learn the basics and get a good feel for the gym and instructors.
Intro to Boxing is a 60 minute class suitable for those who have never put on gloves and who have little knowledge of the sport. We’ll teach you the basic punches you need to know. The benefits you gain from learning how to box are not just physical, they are mental.
One of boxing’s traditions that you learn on Day 1 is the boxing stance, which has your lead leg forward, lead hand extended slightly as a guard, and your dominant hand closer to your face. We will also cover basic boxing foundations in this class, such as:
Punching: You will learn jab, the cross, the hook, and the uppercut. The coach will lead the class through drills that mix punches to create punch count combinations.
Blocking: A basic defense technique to protect yourself from punches by employing proper stance and hand placement.
Slipping, bobbing, and weaving: Defensive techniques, slipping is moving your head left or right of center to let a punch slip past you; weaving is a set of slips; and bobbing is bending at the knees when a punch is thrown so it goes over you.
Footwork: Proper movement on your feet improves punching, balance, and coordination with specific drills like jumping rope.
Bag work: Your trainer will work with you on a bag to target different skills; for example, you will learn to punch harder with Power Puncher drills, and punch faster with Flash drills.
Core work and conditioning: Much of your power and balance in boxing comes from your core, so you will work on developing strong abs.
