Classes
Four kinds of class, one floor
Every class starts with a warm-up and ends with a short cool-down. Classes are up to 18 students, and every class is for adults.
Fundamentals
Stance, movement, strikes on pads and how to keep your distance. The class every new student starts in, taught early on Tuesday, at noon, on Monday and Thursday evening and on Saturday morning.
60 to 75 minutes
Beginner level
Intermediate
Combinations on pads and shields, escapes from grabs and holds, and drills where the partner sets the pace. You join when an instructor says you are ready.
75 minutes, Monday and Wednesday evening
Pad and partner drills on Tuesday night
Women's class
A class for women, taught by Malini. The same four ideas as every class: distance, awareness, a firm voice and pad work, in a room of women.
75 minutes, Tuesday and Thursday evening and Saturday morning
Open to every level
Conditioning
A workout that is also a class: circuits of pad work and body-weight drills at 6 a.m. and in the evening. Scale every round to where you are today.
60 minutes
Open to every level
Open training
