Question 1

Do I need any boxing experience to start?

Accepted Answer

No experience needed at all. The Boxing Fundamentals program is designed specifically for complete beginners. We start with stance, guard, and basic footwork — building your skills progressively from day one.

Question 2

What gear do I need for my first session?

Accepted Answer

For your first session, just bring comfortable workout clothes and indoor training shoes. We provide boxing gloves and hand wraps. As you progress, we'll recommend investing in your own gloves and wraps for hygiene and fit.

Question 3

Do I need to be fit before starting?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. Boxing training will build your fitness. Every session is scaled to your current level. You'll be surprised how quickly your conditioning improves — most clients notice a significant difference within the first month.

Question 4

What does a typical first session look like?

Accepted Answer

Your first session starts with a warm-up, then we cover the basic stance and guard. You'll learn the jab and cross, do some pad work, and finish with a cool-down. It's structured but relaxed — the goal is to build comfort and confidence.

Question 5

How often should I train as a beginner?

Accepted Answer

Two sessions per week is ideal for beginners. This gives your body time to recover while maintaining momentum. As your fitness and technique improve, you can increase to three sessions per week.

Question 6

Will I get hit during training?

Accepted Answer

No. Beginners work exclusively on technique, pad work, and bag work. There is zero contact until you explicitly choose to progress into controlled sparring — and that's always your decision, never forced.

Question 7

Is boxing training safe?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Private coaching is the safest way to learn boxing. Every drill is supervised, technique is corrected in real-time, and the intensity is always matched to your level.

Question 8

Can I combine boxing with my existing gym routine?

Accepted Answer

Yes, many clients train boxing alongside their regular gym work. We can discuss your current routine and structure your boxing sessions to complement it, avoiding overtraining and maximizing results.

Question 9

What are the benefits of boxing beyond fitness?

Accepted Answer

Boxing builds mental toughness, stress relief, confidence, coordination, and discipline. Many clients say the mental benefits surpass the physical ones.

Question 10

How do I book my first session?

Accepted Answer

Head to the Classes page, choose Boxing Fundamentals, and book directly through Calendly. Pick a time that works for you, and you'll receive a confirmation email with all the details.

Question 11

What level do I need to be for Advanced Sparring?

Accepted Answer

You should have at least 6 months of consistent boxing training with solid fundamentals — proper stance, basic combinations, and defensive awareness. We'll assess your level in the first session.

Question 12

How are sparring partners matched?

Accepted Answer

Partners are matched by weight class and experience level. Controlled sparring means technical focus with measured intensity. Coach Fredo supervises every round.

Question 13

Do you prepare fighters for competition?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Advanced Sparring program includes competition preparation for amateur bouts. This covers fight camp periodization, tactical game planning, weight management guidance, and mental conditioning.

Question 14

What does a fight camp look like?

Accepted Answer

Fight camp is typically 8-12 weeks of intensified training. Frequency increases to 4-5 sessions per week, combining technical sparring, conditioning, tactical preparation, and mental work.

Question 15

How does the Strength & Conditioning program differ from regular gym training?

Accepted Answer

Every exercise is selected for its transfer to boxing performance — rotational power, explosive hip extension, shoulder endurance, and fighter-specific conditioning. It's not bodybuilding; it's building a body that fights better.

Question 16

Do you offer video analysis of my sparring?

Accepted Answer

Yes, when available. We record sparring rounds and review key moments — defensive reactions, timing, distance management. Video analysis accelerates improvement.

Question 17

Can I train for both fitness and competition simultaneously?

Accepted Answer

During non-camp periods, absolutely. Many fighters maintain a mix of technical sessions and S&C work. During fight camp, however, the focus shifts entirely to competition preparation.

Question 18

What if I want to transition from fundamentals to sparring?

Accepted Answer

This is a natural progression. Once your technique and defensive awareness reach the right level, we'll introduce controlled technical sparring at reduced intensity. The transition is gradual and always at your pace.
