CLASS DESCRIPTIONS

SANSHOU GROUP CLASSES

Our sanshou group classes are 2 hours long. To prepare our bodies for combative training we undergo a full body warmup (jumping rope, running, other exercises), conditioning exercises (pushups, situps, pullups, squats), and flexibility training (static and dynamic stretching). This is followed by the drilling and refining of specific techniques such as footwork, punching, kicking, and wrestling, as well as bag and pad-work. Class is usually concluded with controlled light sparring to apply the techniques learned in class, some finishing exercises, and a cool-down.

Recommended Equipment:

Workout Clothes (t-shirt & shorts / sweat pants)
Water Bottle
Towel
Handwraps, Bag Gloves, Skipping Rope (optional – we have extra to share)

COMPETITIVE ATHLETES

In addition to working basic skills in the sanshou class, our competitive sanshou athletes will receive one-on-one coaching to further refine their combat skills in preparation for competition. Competitive athletes will also train an additional hour after class and arrange for extra training days during the week to work on conditioning and free sparring.

All competitive athletes must own the necessary equipment for training:

Mouthguard
Protective Cup
Handwraps
Headgear
14oz+ Sparring Gloves
Shinguards.

COMBAT ATHLETICS

Once a week we offer a class geared for those who are brand new to martial arts and combat sports, or more experienced athletes looking to enhance their fundamentals and improve their athleticism. This class focuses on fundamental combative skills and movements, and athletic conditioning (strength, stamina, speed, agility, flexibility, reflexes, co-ordination).

Recommended Equipment: Same as Sanshou Class.
