For added protection, we strongly advise wearing hand wraps during our classes to support your wrists.

You can purchase traditional wraps or quick wraps from the front desk. Additionally, don't forget to bring along boxing gloves (available for hire or bring your own), a towel, and your preferred footwear to keep you light on your feet throughout the session.
