Gear
Gear before your first class
A first class needs a water bottle and clothes you can move in. This is what comes after.
BringHand wraps
Cotton wraps protect your wrists and knuckles. We lend a pair for your first class, then you keep your own.
BringGloves
Boxing gloves for bag work and pads. Your coach will help you choose a pair that fits once you've trained a few times.
LaterSparring gear
Gloves, shin guards and a mouthguard, for light sparring after your first month. Nothing here is needed for your first class.
On the rackPads, shields and bags
We hold the pads for you and provide the shields and heavy bags. Bring a water bottle and a small towel.

Questions
Before your first class
How old do I have to be?
Adult classes are for ages 18 and up. Teens train in their own classes from age 13 to 17. We don't have classes for younger children.
Do I need to be fit or have trained before?
No. Every class has a coach who watches new people, and you work at your own pace. Plenty of people start with no experience.
What do I wear to my first class?
A plain t-shirt and shorts or leggings without pockets or zippers, and clean bare feet on the mat. We can lend wraps and gloves for the first class. The first-class page lists the rest.
What is a class like?
A warm-up, a technique or two shown by the coach, drills with a partner on pads or on the mat, and a short round at the end that you can skip until you're ready.
How does sparring start, and how hard is it?
Nobody spars in their first weeks. Light sparring opens to students after their first month, with gloves, shin guards and a mouthguard, and each round is set to the lightest contact in the pair. Say stop and your partner stops.
Can I watch a class first?
Yes. Come in during any class and watch from the viewing area. Parents of teens are welcome there too.
Come and train with us
Try a class, meet your coach and see the mat. Come as you are.
