Someone asked, “do I have to spar tonight?”

No. New starters aren’t thrown into sparring 🥊
Your first night is basics first. Stance, guard, footwork, simple punches and kicks, then pad work with a partner and a few fitness rounds.

Sparring is for later, when you’ve a bit of control and the coaches are happy it’s the right time. Some people are nervous about that bit, so ask before class if it’s on your mind.

Message the page if you want to try a class.

🥊 SHOUTOUT TO THESE 2 WARRIORS! 🥊

These two had 8 fights between them over the weekend and brought home:

🥇 1 Gold
🥈 2 Silver
🥉 3 Bronze

They barely ever miss a session, and their hard work and dedication is unmatched in our small club. 💪🔥
as the famous saying goes
“The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena… who strives valiantly… who at the best knows the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly.”

Well done lads — you earned every medal! 👊🥊

Don’t leave your hand hanging after the punch.

Try it slow in shadow boxing. Say it in your head: jab back, cross back. The punch goes out, then the same hand comes straight back to your cheek before anything else happens.

If you’re on pads, don’t rush the next shot. Hit the pad, reset your guard, then throw again. You’ll know it’s working when both hands are back up between punches, not sitting round your chest.

Ask us in class if you want it checked 🥊

Some kids think they have to know moves already.

They don't. In the 4–12 class they come in, find their place, and listen to the coach first. Normal training clothes are fine. Bring a drink. If they have gloves, bring them, and if they don't just tell us before class starts.

We warm them up, then keep the technique simple. Basic punches, kicks, footwork, pad work with a partner, movement drills and a few fitness bits near the end.

They finish with encouragement from the coaches and what to work on next time.

Message us before you come down and we'll get them booked in. 🥊

Got asked this by a mum this week, “will my child be alright if they’re nervous?”

Yes. Our 4–12 kids class is for children who are learning, not just ones who are already confident. 🥊

We keep it safe and supportive. They’ll work on listening, focus, discipline, fitness and basic kickboxing at their own level. Some kids join in straight away, some take a bit longer. That’s normal.

If your child is worried, message the page and tell us before they come in.

Most beginners cross their feet when they move back.

Try this next time you're shadow boxing. If you move left, left foot steps first, then the right foot follows. If you move right, right foot goes first. Same idea going forward and back. One foot moves, the other catches up.

Keep the gap between your feet roughly the same. If your heels click together or your legs cross, you've lost your stance.

Slow it down for a round and check it. Ask one of us in class if you're not sure. 🥊
