BOXING & KICKBOXING

Most newcomers to a gym pay a membership fee and find themselves adrift on the gym floor, surrounded by silent and un-cooperative equipment. Most people quickly head for the cardio pit and climb aboard a treadmill that blinks like the flight deck of a 747. Shortly after switching it on, two things become apparent; getting fit is painful, and the only thing worse than being in pain is being bored at the same time.

Kickboxing and boxing are endlessly fascinating. They are easy to learn yet hard to master, and the technical pursuit is like a game. There is no danger of any kind; just hard work and the fascination inherent in a strategic, skilful pursuit.

By addressing the different aspects of fitness with a comprehensive range of implements and skill-oriented disciplines, we seek to fully engage the master muscle of the imagination. In this respect, the body is both the hammer and the anvil.

At Tyger Tyger, we focus on the following: weight training (to help build a healthy, durable body from the inside out); boxing and fight training (because it requires every aspect of fitness – strength, speed, stamina, flexibility and co-ordination); kettlebells (great tool for building functional strength) and mixed implements (which give breadth to your general conditioning, as well as being fun and challenging).
