Here’s how we structure our sessions:

- Calisthenics: Jumping jacks, pushups, and MMA-style conditioning to fire up your entire body.

Technique & Pad Work (Majority of Class)
- Boxing Fundamentals: Learn the basics of stance, movement, and punching mechanics. Break down punches (jabs, crosses, hooks), defense, and head movement.
- Partnered Pad Work: Apply combinations with feedback from experienced trainers—no prior skill level required!
- Skill Technique Progression: From basic punches to advanced combos, our boxing program adapts into more advanced techniques overtime.
Conditioning or Sparring (10 Minutes)
- High-Intensity Drills: Bag work, partner drills, or circuits for metabolic conditioning and cardiovascular workout.
- Optional Sparring: Safe, supervised, skill-based sessions—light technical simulated sparring for beginners, more competitive rounds for seasoned students.
Cool-Down & Stretching
- Full-Body Recovery: Static stretches to boost flexibility and reduce soreness.

Boxing Frequently Asked Questions

How Should a Beginner Start Boxing?

For a beginner, the best way to start is by signing up for a boxing class where you can learn fundamental boxing skills. Most gyms offer boxing programs designed for beginners, with trainers who guide you through the basic movements and techniques. This is the perfect option for anyone looking to learn boxing techniques from experienced trainers.

For those who prefer a more personalized approach, personal training or private training sessions might be an ideal choice to speed up learning and provide tailored feedback on improving your boxing skills. It’s essential to start at a pace that aligns with your current fitness level and gradually build up endurance and strength. Whether you're working on your cardiovascular workout or aiming for strength training, boxing offers complete workouts that challenge both your body and mind, helping you achieve your fitness goals while mastering the sweet science of the sport.

What Age is "Too Late" to Start Boxing?

When it comes to starting boxing, there's no specific age that's too late to begin. While professional boxers often start training in their early teens (around 7-10 years old), adults in their 20s, 30s, 40s, or even 50s can still get involved and see great results. Kids and teens typically focus on developing basic boxing skills, strength, and agility, while adults can use boxing to improve fitness levels, lose weight, or gain lean muscle. Boxing is a great workout at any age, as it offers a full-body challenge and can be tailored to your current fitness level.

For older beginners, starting boxing is completely achievable with the right approach. Many gyms offer beginner boxing classes or even private training sessions to help newcomers develop proper form and build boxing techniques safely. If you're in your 40s or 50s, boxing can still help improve cardiovascular health and strength, but it’s important to focus on gradual progress and listen to your body. Whether you're looking for a fitness challenge or just want to improve your health, boxing offers a structured way to enhance your fitness level, no matter your age.

Can You Lose Belly Fat By Boxing?

Yes, boxing can help you lose belly fat, but it requires consistent effort and a combination of boxing workouts and proper diet. Boxing provides an intense cardiovascular workout that engages your entire body, including the core, which is key to burning fat. With its emphasis on body workouts, you’ll target your entire body, including the abs, to help trim down the waistline. Boxing is an excellent way to burn calories, build lean muscle, and increase your fitness level, all of which contribute to weight loss over time.

Many boxing programs focus on high-intensity interval training (HIIT), which is effective for metabolic conditioning. This means you’re not just working on boxing skills like footwork and punches, but also performing strength training and endurance exercises. Boxing is also known as the sweet science because it combines skill and physical conditioning to produce results. Whether you join a boxing class at your local boxing gym or engage in individual sessions, boxing provides complete workouts that challenge the body and improve cardiovascular endurance, leading to overall fat loss and a more toned physique.
