Different styles of boxes, for all levels
La boxing is today the most practiced in the world and uses only the fists. Focused on gestures, motor skills and cardio, the training is based on learning striking techniques (direct, uppercut, hook), dodging and movement. Getting into a guard position, positioning your arms, bending your legs and staying on your feet are some of the movements taught.

The training program is spread over three days: from 17h30 to 19h for boxing and 19h15 to 22h for kickboxing Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
