Afternoon Sessions
-
Working on stance, guard and balance and getting a general feel for boxing through shadow boxing.
-
Learn basic punches through shadow boxing & pad work.
-
Practice what we have learned and work on techniques to improve it, starting to put more power and speed into the pad work and learning to enjoy it.
-
Learn defensive techniques such as blocking, ducking, slipping and footwork movements.
-
Learn some more advanced punching techniques such as hooks and uppercuts.
-
Start to slowly combine some of the techniques we have learned together, also making sure we have all basics covered to move onto more challenging and exciting sessions.
-
Start to put some combinations together using all the attacking and defensive techniques we have learnt, letting it flow, find your rhythm and enjoy it!
-
Put together everything we have worked on, letting everything flow and feel good about the progress you have made.
Also, I will include some fitness at the end of each session, and also teach them about what muscles we are using and how we can develop them. More importantly teach them the positive impacts boxing can have on your everyday life and create that winners mentality which is not just important for boxing but for life itself, to be happy and to be successful.
