Starts November 27th. This one month course is designed for the complete beginner who not only wants to learn the skills of throwing and defending a punch but also wants to improve overall fitness. The course covers all the basic punches including the jab, cross, hook, upper-cuts and body shots. Boxing is not solely about punching. Good defence skills are another major aspect of the course. Knowing how to hold a strong guard and block a punch, or even slicker, slip and roll under a punch or be quick and smooth enough to simply move away from the punch are all skills included in the classes. Because footwork and stance are fundamental to all aspects of boxing they are introduced and consolidated throughout the course. Improving and developing fitness is a core element throughout the Boxing Basics Course.

This programme entitles you to 8 specified Boxing Basics sessions, 4 complementary non-boxing sessions (including Boxing Conditioning; Strength and Power and Yoga for Boxing) and open access to the commercial gym, over a period of 1 calendar month.
