Our Technique classes taught by one of our experienced boxing coaches will break down the fundamental techniques of boxing for you. This will start with your boxing stance, moving onto your jab and then combinations. We will also work on the defensive side of the sport on how to block, parry, duck and move.
The classes will be predominantly technique based without such an emphasis on fitness. Attending a few of these classes and we will have you pulling off Muhammad Ali moves before you know it!
These classes will be perfect for all levels from beginners to those who wish to brush up on their skills. The classes are strictly non-contact meaning no sparring or to simply put it nobody is going to give you a black eye!
