KICKBOXING CLASSES
Kickboxing combines different elements of boxing with kicking techniques from martial arts such as karate and Muay Thai. The aim of the game is to use punches, kicks, knee strikes and elbow strikes to attack and defend against opponents.

What Should I Wear For Boxing?
For kickboxing classes, it’s important to wear comfy, baggy trousers, joggers or shorts. Women can wear leggings and need a supportive sports bra.
Make sure there are no zips or unnecessary buttons on any item for safety reasons. Tie back long hair and bring a water bottle to keep hydrated – you’re going to need it.
If you have your own gloves or hand wraps, please bring them along, but if you don’t, you can borrow ours.
