COACHING
- Have fun and help but do not over coach. Overcoaching can confuse and disrupt your partner’s progress.
- If help is required, ask one of the coaches.
DISTRACTIONS
- Respect your instructor and the class by not talking while the instructor is talking.
- We welcome a fun and encouraging environment, however, please avoid casual, non-relevant conversation when you’re in the middle of training, e.g. whilst hitting pads, sparring etc. If you are talking, you are not committing yourself 100% and respecting your partner’s training.
EQUIPMENT
- For your first session, all you need is hand wraps to protect your hands (we have these available).
- Once you’re a member you’ll require 10-12oz boxing gloves.
- As you progress you may need some other equipment, these include shin pads (kickboxing only), and 16oz boxing gloves and a mouthguard.
SPARRING
- Please be respectful to the sparring rules and pace that the instructor dictates. Learning pace control is a skill that needs to be practiced along with everything else we learn in class.
- If you feel that your partner is not abiding by the guidelines, please let the coach know.
- If you’re uncomfortable with any sparring, please let your coach know.
