Boxing & Karate
Boxing is a combat sport where two participants, generally of similar weight, fight each other with their fists. You will learn basic boxing skills with an experience coach and there will be training using gloves, hitting bags, and in the ring supervised fights. The department also offers a non aerobic kickboxing class at Carolina Center.
Karate is primarily a striking art using punching, kicking, knee and elbow strikes and open-handed techniques such as knife-hands and ridge-hands. Grappling, locks, restraints, throws, and vital point strikes are taught in some styles. Both classes are great to learn self defense skills.
