Michael H. says, "Sifu Hutchings knows his stuff - this is the only school in Kansas with a legitimate lineage going all the way back to Bruce Lee and James Lee, and it shows in the quality of training - if you're wanting to study a super-effective self defense system that will have you confidently ready to deal with almost anything within 2 years, then this is the place. But more than that is the friendly and welcoming environment - this school has become my second family, and Sifu Hutchings my big brother. I love coming to class because I love these people and can't imagine my life without this school being part of it. Pear Tree Self Defense Center is a life-changing place and I hope more people discover that for themselves!" Read more

  • Boosting your overall mental and physical health
  • Building more upper-body strength
  • Helping you make new friends at the gym
  • Developing self-discipline
  • Losing weight faster
  • Enhancing your stamina to perform better in other sports like marathons

How do I prepare for boxing class?

The best ways for women to prepare for a boxing class include:

  • Expect a full-body workout and bring a bottle of water with you to class.
  • Don't train on days of the month when you're over-tired or menstruating.
  • Ask the teacher if they provide hand wraps, gloves, or accessories.
  • Take a day off from intense workouts before your first class.
  • Eat a light and nutritious meal 1 to 2 hours before training.
  • Stretch at home right before class.
  • Maintain a positive attitude.

What do women wear to a boxing class?

Women can wear the same types of gym workout clothing to a boxing class. Keep in mind that you'll sweat a lot in your clothing, so choose something comfortable that breathes well.

Examples of women's boxing class clothing include:

  • A sports bra that doesn't restrict movement
  • Tank tops or T-shirts
  • Shorts or leggings that allow for high kicks
  • Nothing too baggy that won't stay in place
  • Hand wraps or gloves that weight at least 10 oz. each
  • Lightweight cross trainers or shoes with thin soles

How long is a boxing class?

Most boxing classes are 30 to 60 minutes long. Each session typically includes a variety of drills with emphasis on cardio exercises, punching bag practice, weight training, and stretches to cool down afterward. You can schedule longer sessions with your coach if you want to train competitively.

How often should beginners take boxing classes?

Start out with 2 to 3 boxing classes per week as a beginner to allow enough recovery time. You can take more than 4 classes per week after your coach has seen that you've progressed enough to train more without risking injuries.

If you're eager to progress faster, then ask your coach which strength and endurance training exercises you can do in between classes.

What are the weight classes in women's boxing?

Weight classes in women's boxing includes 17 categories that start at 102 to 105 lbs. minimum for the Atomweight and Strawweight levels. The highest categories are various tiers of Heavyweight 168 lbs. or more. However, the top weight category in MMA is only up to 145 lbs. maximum.

Matching sparring partners so that they fight others in their same weight category is important to create balanced matches that reduce the risk of unnecessary injuries.

Reviews for boxing classes for women

Recent success stories from people in your area.
Melvin L.
I have been an active member of the school for over a decade. Master Sifu Hutchings has a fantastic background in combative arts, as well as experience defending himself against assailants in hand-to-hand combat. Students learn techniques with the aim of disabling or dispatching threats with efficiency. This is not a sport school; it is an opportunity to acquire self-defense knowledge for legitimate, possibly life-or-death threats. The school is welcoming to all who wish to learn, and is very supportive of the LGBTQA2S+ community.
