For students ready to take their training to a whole new level we are pleased to announce the addition of sparring classes.

We offer both group and semi-private sparring sessions. To ensure the safety and positive experience for all participants, students must be approved by a Smash Hit instructor prior to registering for sparring classes.

Depending on your experience each class or session is divided into three types of spar activities.
Sparring equipment is mandatory. Even though we practice light contact and non contact drills. All students must have headgear, forearm, elbow pads, Foot gear, shin pads, mouth guard, and 16 oz gloves.
Technical Sparring
Every action is measured and specific. Tech Sparring is specific boxing drills with the assistance of a partner. This class is specifically geared as a skills development and reaction conditioning activity.
Conditioned Sparring
Conditioned Sparring is sparring with conditions or restrictions. The conditions that are applied in this type of sparring are tailored to a specific scenario in order to enhance the development of specific skills and tactical awareness. For example, boxers might only use jabs for the round. This forces them to really appreciate the benefits of a good jab. It’s especially useful for boxers who have the constant urge to use the power punches or hooks, letting them practice the skill of using their jab to open the opponent and close the range to the target safely and successfully. Most important it allows one to learn concentrate their defensive ability one punch at a time, instead of worrying about a bunch of shots coming. Once participants gain experience conditions are more subtle and to the observer it looks as though it is open sparring.
Open Sparring (Advanced Students ONLY)
Open sparring requires extensive experience with both technical and conditioned sparring. All participants must have demonstrated emotional and physical control. Participants are supervised and work light to medium contact. Sparring remains light contact and follows strict guidelines and safety rules.
