What you need before you start

You don’t need a particular level of fitness before starting. I look at where you’re starting from and set the pace accordingly. I teach beginners and also train with people who already have experience.

I hold a first-degree black belt in kickboxing, awarded by CEKT in 2014. You can read about my qualifications and background, or about my personal kickboxing sessions.

For your first class:

  • Wear comfortable clothes for training.
  • Bring your own hand wraps and your own gloves.
  • I bring the pads we use to practise strikes.
  • We agree on footwear according to where we’ll train.

What happens in your first class

This is the usual outline, but I adapt each class to the person.

  1. We talk and warm up

    First we talk about your experience. Then we warm up.

  2. We practise with pads

    We practise the guard, footwork and basic strikes on the pads.

  3. We slow down

    I finish the class by bringing the pace down.

Contact with another person is something I consider later, and we talk about it first.

Pace and questions before training

I often see beginners start too hard, hold their breath or drop their guard. That’s why I prefer to work on technique slowly before raising the pace.

I teach from age 12. If the person training is a minor, one of their parents must be present.

I don’t set an upper age limit. I recommend speaking to your doctor beforehand if you take medication regularly or haven’t trained for a long time. This also applies if you have doubts after a recent knock or fall.

After an operation, your doctor has the final say. We start once your doctor has discharged you, following their instructions.

I don’t need health details over WhatsApp to arrange a class. Please don’t send diagnoses, medical reports or test results by message. If we need to look at them, we do that during the session.

The price and where we train

€400 for 10 hours; the pack is booked in advance. The 10 hours must be used within 3 months. Other arrangements are agreed case by case. You can also check the published kickboxing prices.

You can train at home in San Pedro de Alcántara and Marbella, or at Panatta gym in San Pedro. To find a time, message me with your preferred place and day.

I accept cash, Bizum and bank transfer.

A small group can be considered. Message me on WhatsApp and we’ll look at it.

Frequently asked questions

Getting ready for your first class

Should I train on my own before starting?

I don’t ask for a particular level of fitness. I look at your starting point and adjust the pace of the class to it.

Will you lend me gloves for the first class?

I ask you to bring your own gloves and hand wraps. I bring the pads; wear comfortable clothes.

Should I wear trainers or go barefoot?

We agree on footwear according to where we’ll train. Tell me whether you prefer home or Panatta so we can discuss it beforehand.

Will I exchange strikes with someone on day one?

I start with technique and pad work, without sparring. Contact with another person is something I consider later, and we talk about it first.

Can I start at an older age?

I don’t set an upper age limit. If you haven’t trained for a long time, I recommend speaking to your doctor first.

Can my 15-year-old come without me?

A parent must be present when I teach a minor. Classes start from age 12.
