Will I lose weight?
That's up to you. If you're serious about losing weight then you'll choose a lifestyle that promotes healthy eating so your training is productive. Do you think competitors go the distance in a fight from junk food?

How many classes can I attend?
Up to 6 days per week or as much as your body can handle, which ever comes first.
Do I have to train only on specific days?
No. We allow you to create your own attendance schedule to fit your lifestyle needs. If you can't make classes, then use the Open Gym times.
But if you're slackin, you'll be reminded to step it up.
Do I need training gear?
Kickboxers and boxers wear hand wraps and training gloves when training. We have gear for you to use and for you to purchase. Don't buy the junk from the sporting good stores, because it wont last.
BJJ students train in Gi's.
Will kickboxing improve my flexibility?
Absolutely. Performing kicks and using the stretching routines in our program will increase your flexibility so can round kick your friends and family all day long.
