Our method

How we train

01

Cardio warm-up

Jumping rope, running, body weight exercises and shadow boxing to prepare the body and sharpen rhythm.

02

Padwork, bagwork or clinch

Technical rounds on pads, heavy bag or in the clinch to build power, timing and close-range control.

03

Technical drilling or sparring

Controlled sparring or focused drills. 14/16 oz gloves plus personal gear are mandatory.

04

Abs and stretching

Core work and stretching to finish the session, improve recovery and reduce injury risk.

We keep it dynamic. Class structure may vary without notice.

Etiquette

Our values & rules

01

Arrive on time

Coaches expect punctuality as a sign of respect and commitment. They are not obligated to work with late comers.

02

Talk less, train more

Socializing is key to our team, but there's no chatting on the tatami. If you don't listen to the instructions, we won't repeat them.

03

Don't be selfish

If your partner is new, help them and make them feel welcome. We're all here to learn. If someone holds pads for you, you must hold them for them in the next round. Selfishness will not be tolerated.

04

Respect the space

Let's not forget our gear at the gym. Let's work together to keep the space clean and tidy out of respect for everyone training with us and for those coming after us.
