Classes & Schedule
Karate
(Shorei Goju Ryu Style)
We offer separate Karate classes for children
and adults. Our children's classes are designed to help increase attention span,
motor control, awareness, discipline, and respect while learning fundamental
karate skills. We also emphasize and reward academic achievement. Our adults'
classes emphasize awareness, discipline, self-defense, and physical fitness
while building strong karate skills. |
Kickboxing
In
our kickboxing classes you'll do much more than run in place and wave your arms
in the air. You'll get a great aerobic workout, and you'll learn proper
techniques for punching and kicking. Learning good technique is important for
two reasons: you are much less likely to injure or strain your joints and
muscles, and if you are ever faced with a self-defense situation, you will be
much better prepared to protect yourself.
Typical classes include
stretching and calisthenics to warm up, kicking and punching drills, shadow
boxing, kicking and punching the bags, working with focus mitts and speed bags
(just like the pros), and partner drills (pairing up to do crunches, practice
kicks, and work with the medicine balls). Handwraps and boxing gloves are
required and are included in your initial sign up.

Executive
Boxing
Broad Ripple Martial Arts is pleased to announce the addition of
our new executive boxing class in late August 2008. These classes are designed
to teach men and women the fundamentals of boxing. No previous experience is
required! In each class you will work and train like a professional boxer. We
focus on getting your body in shape, building solid offensive and defensive
techniques, and teaching ring generalship.
Typical workouts include
aerobics, punching bags, heavy bags, speed bags, focus mitts, shadow boxing, and
paired exercises. No actual sparring is required. Anyone participating in
sparring will be required to wear headgear, a mouthpiece, and groin protection
(for men). Classes are 2 hours in length; all sparring is totally controlled and
supervised. | |
