Inside JKD / Boxing
Build the hands, then understand when to use them.
The class develops stance, guard, punching mechanics, combinations and footwork through a clear boxing base. Those fundamentals are then connected to timing, distance and interception so technique stays purposeful rather than becoming isolated pad work.
Adults at all levels can take part. Beginners build dependable foundations while experienced students gain a focused place to sharpen movement, decision-making and the relationship between boxing skill and JKD principles.
