How training is going to work

We ask that students arrive for each session 5-10 minutes early to ensure a prompt warm up to maximise our session time. Students are welcome to bring their own skipping rope to warm up with too, but when there is sufficient light in the evenings we will go for a jog before stretching to warm up.

Bring any kit you have, boxing gloves if you have them, we have pads and shields at both of our locations that are available to borrow. Full sparring and training kit can also be purchased on: https://twodragonsonline.com/collections/protection-1 or in person at TDMA HQ.

Long hair must be tied back and jewellery removed . A water bottle should be brought to each session.

Training times for the whole year.
