ABOUT THE PROGRAM
What this actually is.
Striking here is one skill taught through three classes. Boxing for hands and footwork. Muay Thai for elbows, knees, and kicks. Kickboxing to link them. One membership covers all of it. Six striking classes run each week, on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
Boxing sharpens first, because your hands are the closest thing you have and the fastest. You learn to read distance, slip, and counter. Muay Thai brings in the rest of the body: shins for low kicks, elbows in the clinch, knees up the middle. Kickboxing runs the two together at a tempo built for clean technique.
You don't need a background to start. Most people in the room walked in never having thrown a punch. The first weeks are stance, footwork, and basic combinations, then pad rounds with a partner. Sparring comes later, it stays optional, and plenty of members never take a round.

Striking FAQ.
No. Some members only box. Some only do Muay Thai. Most drift between them. One membership covers every striking class, so mix it however works for you.
Not even close. Most of our striking members weren't fit when they walked in, fitness builds as you learn. Coaches scale every drill to your current level.
Sparring is always optional and never required. Many members train for months or years without sparring and still get incredible results. Pad work and bag rounds give you everything striking can offer.
Athletic clothes, shorts or joggers, a t-shirt or rash guard. We train barefoot, so no shoes. Bring a water bottle and a towel. Hand wraps and gloves are nice to have but you can borrow them at the gym.
We teach real striking, proper mechanics, partner work, timing, and strategy. You're learning to actually strike, not just punch air to music. That said, the workout still wrecks you in the best way.
