Schedule

Monday to Friday

Morning sessions: Self-training – Engage in physical conditioning exercises, such as cardio workouts, strength training, and flexibility exercises.

  • We also offer an alternative morning schedule where instead of self-training, you can participate in our volunteer program, teaching English. In the afternoon, you have the option to come earlier and engage in two concurrent sessions: self-training and training with a coach.

Afternoon sessions (with Coach): Focus on technique training, including strikes, kicks, punches, blocks, and defensive maneuvers. Sparring sessions: Participate in controlled sparring sessions to practice your skills in realistic scenarios.

  • After the training session, there will be a 15-minute passive stretching session for the participants conducted by the coach. This session aims to help with muscle relaxation, increase flexibility, and promote recovery.

*** Please note that the schedule may be adjusted based on the specific training center and trainers’ availability.***

***This schedule can be changed and/or amended depending on weather conditions, local conditions, and unforeseen circumstances.***
