BOXING
The boxing classes at Hertford Combat Academy are open to all levels regardless of your experience. They classes focus on:
Functional fitness
Foot work
Head movement
Defensive work
Punching combinations
The class consists of functional fitness, pad work, bag work , partner work and controlled sparring. Beginners don’t have to spar, participants and the instructor will discuss when you are ready and feel comfortable sparring. For those who do take part in sparring sessions a gum shield must be worn. We do have gloves that you can borrow but its is recommended that if you are going to train regularly that you eventually get your own gloves. You can speak to the instructor who will be able to advise on which gloves you should purchase.
Hertford Combat Academy run their own inter-club competitions at the gym through out the year as well as travelling to other gyms to take part. This gives participants the opportunity to experience a more competitive situation in a controlled and safe environment, and what it feels like to train for competition and to compete in-front of a crowd before potentially progressing on to more high profile events if they feel they want to. Anyone who wishes to compete can speak with the instructor about upcoming inter-club events.
