Fight and grow

A martial arts based group class set to music. You learn movements from Thai boxing, kickboxing, karate and jiu-jitsu in combinations, without a partner, working into the air. No contact, no sparring, no risk of injury.

What kind of class is this?

The combinations are built on 4×8 counts, as in aerobics, but there are no aerobics elements in them. Purely punches, kicks, blocks and their variations, to the rhythm of the music.

Sixty minutes: warm-up, building the combinations step by step, then running the full sequence. Stretching at the end.

How do I know if it suits me?

If martial arts appeal to you but you do not want to face anyone, this is your class. And if you have always assumed choreography is not for you: the movements here are simple and repeated, and the instructor builds them up in layers.

As a beginner, the first two or three classes are about learning; after that you carry it. It takes patience, and in return your coordination improves visibly.

Why is it worth trying?

• Martial arts movement without contact or injury risk
• Strongly develops coordination and sense of rhythm
• Heart rate stays high, so it is serious cardio work too
• New movement patterns, your body learns something it has not done before
• Excellent for releasing tension
