Safety, control and technique are the cornerstones of training. Class will consist of striking pads to learn proper mechanics, live action drills to learn proper timing, footwork to improve mobility, body maneuvers to aid proper distance, and optional and supervised sparring for those who want to put all of their acquired skills together. Mouthguards are available for sale at the SAC Front Desk. Twice annually, an exhibition is held in order to showcase the students' talents and progress. Boxing is taught by student Matt Summers. Matt has 5 years experience teaching a streetsmart self defense system entitled E.N.D. He has taught both in class as well as individual settings.
