We start with a quick check-in on goals, fitness level, and any injuries. Then I teach the fundamentals: stance, guard, balance, and basic footwork (forward/back/angles). You’ll learn the jab and cross with correct technique (wrist alignment, hip rotation, breathing), then we’ll do light shadowboxing and beginner mitt work at a controlled pace. We finish with a short conditioning round and a simple homework drill so you improve between sessions. No sparring—safety first.
Training becomes fully personalized based on your goals: fitness/weight loss, self-defense, or competition prep. We keep refining technique while adding advanced timing, setups, and combinations, plus higher-level footwork and defense/counters. Conditioning is tailored to your progress, and we track metrics like stamina, punch output, and movement quality. If you ever want to compete, we can build a structured camp plan (still no unnecessary contact; only what’s appropriate and safe).
Now we level up: sharper footwork (angles, pivots, in-and-out), stronger combinations (2–5 punches), and more defense with counters (slip → return, block → return). Mitt rounds get more intense with specific themes: speed, power mechanics, accuracy, and ring movement. We add beginner strategy (distance, rhythm, feints, jab control) and sport-specific conditioning (HIIT, core, legs). Each session has measurable progress—cleaner technique, better gas tank, and more confidence.
We build consistency and confidence. You’ll refine stance/footwork, add the hook and basic defense (slips, blocks, pivots), and start combining punches (jab–cross, jab–cross–hook). Mitt work increases with better timing and accuracy, plus conditioning intervals for fat loss and endurance. You’ll learn how to move after you punch (don’t stand still) and how to stay relaxed under pressure.
