A single fluorescent strip lights the compact gym as Kato Sensei pads a mitt and watches newcomers find their stance. The room smells of chalk and rubber; the floor vibrates with measured footwork as participants cycle through basic punches, kicks, and mitt rounds. In an hour you move from guided stretching to partner mitt work, the rhythm shifting from deliberate correction to pulse-raising combinations.

Conservation
Gyms have modest environmental impact—bring a reusable bottle and towel to reduce disposable waste, and respect local neighborhoods by arriving and leaving quietly.
Reserve your spot on the Kickboxing & Body Training with EX-Pro Fighter today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Hydrate before you arrive
Bring a full reusable water bottle; you'll sweat even in an hour-long class and water breaks are limited to short intervals.
Wear indoor trainers or bare feet
Gyms often require clean indoor shoes or bare feet—check the booking notes and bring a thin-soled trainer for quick footwork.
Bring a mouthguard if you want contact
The gym supplies basic protectors, but if you plan to spar or do heavier mitt rounds bring your own mouthguard for comfort and hygiene.
Arrive 10–15 minutes early
Arriving early lets you complete signing, hear safety briefings, and warm up properly under instructor guidance.
Reusable water bottle
Keeps you hydrated and reduces single-use plastic in a high-sweat session.
Breathable training clothes
Moisture-wicking shirt and shorts/leggings support movement and comfort.
Thin-soled indoor trainers or clean mats shoes
Helps with grip and stability during footwork and pivoting.
Mouthguard (optional)
If you plan on semi-contact drills, a personal mouthguard improves safety and hygiene.
