Best Kickboxing Classes in Reading

The class format generally consists of: Warm up This involve exercises to raise the heart rate, increasing blood flow and preparing muscles for work. The warm up is especially important in Martial Arts as many of the techniques taught expose the muscles to explosive movements. The warm up may also involve techniques to help with building strength, core strength or reaction times. Main section This part of the class takes many varied forms, keeping classes interesting for students. A class might focus on one aspect such as group of techniques, a section of self defence or fitness circuit training. Sometimes classes focus on sparring (if you do not wish to spar the other options are always available). In addition to the above, classes may involve multiple activities with different coaches. Just when you think you have it all worked out, your coach might throw in one of a number of fun games (for all ages) designed to supplement the syllabus and enhance core skills. Whatever the activity classes are designed to be safe friendly and fun! Cool down Also called warm down this is carried out at the end of the class. It's purpose is to stretch out and re-oxygenate the muscles used during the work out.
