Fitness

If you don’t fancy white pajamas there are still plenty of options available at the dojo. In fact we offer adults more non-traditional classes than traditional! The dress code for our ‘fighting fit’, open dojo and circuit classes is t-shirt & shorts/trackies. It’s a good idea to bring running shoes to these classes as we try to get out doors when the weather permits. All the fitness classes will really enhance traditional training as well.
Our fitness classes vary so try a few! Morning training is intense. Everyone is welcome but it’s usually students on a mission who get out of bed for a class that scores an 8 or 9 out of 10 for intensity (1 being a walk in the park… 4 being a Les Mills Body Attack session… 10 being lose your dinner). These classes cancel and vary at late notice so let us know if you’re interested and we’ll get you in the txt loop.
Lunch time sessions are much kinder and attract a general audience. They often start with a light run and then it’s back for bag and pad work and good old fashioned fitness training – pushups, situps, squats and maybe some fight training or light sparring depending who’s there. Lunch times are proving popular with the dads!
Friday night fight night is a casual session for self training and/or sparring. We welcome other stylists looking to boost their existing training and there’s usually someone around happy to mix up the rules. Shihan Chris is almost always there so take the opportunity to get some one on one coaching!
Saturday mornings are currently managed by Shihan Alex. He’s working on specific training for improved kicking. These classes aren’t recommended unless you’ve done some preparatory training / have reasonable core strength.
In addition to our classes Chris is available for personal training to suit your goals/needs.
