Description:

Get into shape by participating in the sport of USA Olympic Style Boxing. Students will be taken through a boxer's workout in a safe and comfortable environment while learning boxing punches, a proper boxing stance, footwork, movement, shadow boxing, and self-defense. Students will be introduced to the many rhythmic bags, heavy bags, and focus mitts. Learning the sport of boxing is a fun way to relieve stress, gain self-confidence, get stronger, leaner, and faster, while developing a sense of self through boxing ethics. There will be no sparring in this course.
