LIONS DEN BOXING CLUB – Taught by former Light-heavyweight contender John “The Iceman” Scully, this 3 hour a day club gives you “old school” boxing training. You will not only learn the fundamentals of boxing, but you will train like a boxer. From light sparring to jumping rope, to plyometric training, you will train like a champion even if you never compete. The Lion’s Den Boxing Club is safe, fun and a great way to learn while getting your body into great shape. Though this club is for those looking to learn to box, you do not have to participate in sparring sessions if you dont want to. You do not have to be here from 4-7pm. Come and go whenever you like during those three hours!

BOXING CONDITIONING– If you ever wondered how boxer’s get into great shape, this class will show you how. This class is a total body workout that involves NO PUNCHING CONTACT WITH OTHERS. Armed with your own 150lb heavy-bag, you’ll be taken on a series of intense punching drills guaranteed to tone up those arms and shoulders. If you think it’s all upper body—think again. Our top pros will target those legs and abs throughout the hour long, 1000 calorie an hour burning training session to ensure an over-all body work-out that’s second to none!

YOGA – Practice strengthening and lengthening while enhancing your connection to breathe. This is an entire core workout that will leave you feeling strong, flexible, and with a greater mind body connection.

SUBMISSION WRESTLING TAKEDOWNS – Taught by former collegiate wrestling champion and undefeated MMA fighter, Mike Cerrone,  you’ll learn not only the fundamentals of wrestling, but how to apply these fundamentals when pertaining to mixed martial arts. Submission wrestling will focus on taking your opponent to the ground while maintaining dominant control with a heavy emphasis on transitioning for submissions. This class will also touch on how to counter submissions and submission defense.

LION’S DEN BJJ (BRAZILAN JIU-JITSU) – Taught by three-time world BJJ champion and Vitor Shaolin training partner, Danilo Cherman, you’ll learn the correct techniques of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu starting at the white belt level. Considered by many to be the “back-bone” of MMA, BJJ emphasizes ground fighting techniques and submission holds involving joint-locks and chokeholds. The premise is that most of the advantage of a larger, stronger opponent comes from superior reach and more powerful strikes, which are negated when grappling on the ground. This is a great class for beginners or the more advanced since we will be running both! Ad this to your full MMA class, the ELITE boxing class and our Combat Muay-Thai class and be unstoppable!

CARDIO KICKBOXING – As like all of our cardio classes, cardio kickboxing focuses on an over-all body workout designed for tightening and toning while giving your body an intense cardio pulmonary workout. Stretching and flexibility are key, but not necessary in the beginning. Our kick-boxing instructors will teach and guide you through a thorough pre-workout stretch before you begin your punching and kicking assault on the 150lb heavy-bag. As with all of our cardio based classes, be ready to burn those calories!
