Class Structure Our Kickboxing program is an intense cardiovascular workout that teaches basic Muay Thai kickboxing and western boxing concepts.  Students participate in a wide variety of striking and kicking drills using kicking shields, focus mitts, and thai pads with a partner.  Unlike other cardio kickboxing programs such as Tae-Bo, our class allows the participants to learn actual effective fighting/self defense techniques working with their partner on the training bags instead of just standing in front of a heavy bag.  Heavy emphasis is placed on a variety of aerobic shadow boxing, pad drills, heavy bag, timing and sensitivity exercises.  Both men and women enjoy this fun aerobic workout.  The classes run in one-hour lengths, starting with a slight cardio workout and then thorough stretching.  The class then performs a series of timed drills on the pads with a partner, thus getting in the great cardio workout.  All equipment necessary to participate in the class is provided, although bag gloves or hand wraps and shin guards are recommended but not provided.  These can be ordered through us or purchased at any sporting goods store.
