Do I need any martial arts experience to take a boxing class?
No, you do not need any experience at all. Most of our participants start with no experience. Beginners are integrated into classes with everyone else. Every three minutes, a different KC's member teaches the beginner for one round, and then it rotates. In fact, newcomers' superpower is being a blank canvas – they typically don't have any bad habits yet.
How much does a boxing membership cost?
There are no contracts at KC's Fitness. The monthly fee is $109, and you can attend as often as you like.
Do people hit each other?
Class activities involve hitting focus mitts, heavy bags, jumping rope, and doing calisthenics derived from boxing and martial arts. Only those who opt into sparring and competitive boxing actually hit each other.
Are the boxing classes all the same?
All classes involve striking, primarily using hands, but also feet and elbows. However, each class can vary as each coach brings their own style and expertise. This variety is appreciated by our members as it provides diverse experiences.
Do I need my own boxing equipment to bring to class?
Yes, you need your own equipment. You don't need it on the first night, but you should have your own hand wraps and boxing gloves that you bring to every class. It's similar to not wanting to borrow someone else's shoes at a dance school.
Is there a competitive outlook for those interested?
Yes, definitely. For those interested in sparring or competitive boxing, such as amateur boxing or Golden Gloves, we provide guidance and support. Our coaches are all USA certified with extensive experience.
Are older people welcome to do boxing classes?
Our oldest participant is 92 and very active. We offer classes that are popular with those in their 50s to 70s. Modifications are available for anyone with physical limitations, ensuring everyone can participate safely and effectively.
I'm a beginner to boxing and/or fitness altogether. Will I be able to keep up in class?
Yes, you will be able to keep up. It's not about competing with others but doing your best and being present. Our members range from beginners to those with decades of experience, all participating in the same training.
