The Main Event

This isn't your typical Friday night, but it'll still be a blast! Everyone loves the idea of stepping into a boxing ring, but let's face it, getting hit in the face isn't appealing. Don't worry, at Main Event, you'll be the one delivering all the punches. Fitness isn't our goal, having fun while throwing punches is!

Here's the agenda:

8 pm - Sign in and receive equipment

8:15 pm - Review the rules and answer any questions

8:25 pm - Begin basic boxing drills

8:50 pm - Gear up and start the volunteer sparring session (we'll capture an intro video with music)

9:30 pm - Socialize and mingle with a live DJ, awards, and drinks (BYOB)

We'll start with learning the three basic punches: the jab, straight cross, and hook, along with basic footwork. You'll participate in mitt work drills with a partner and test your strength with a heavy bag competition. Afterwards, you'll have the opportunity to spar. Women will be on offense and men will be on defense only. Men are not allowed to throw punches back at the women, but don't worry, if you still want to try what you've learned, you'll have the chance to spar with one of the instructors on site! MEN- YOU MUST BRING A MOUTH PIECE IN ORDER TO SPAR INSIDE OF THE RING- NO EXCEPTIONS!

For the social mixer, we'll have a live DJ (@djkayoh) providing great music! This is a BYOB event, so feel free to bring your own drinks. Just be sure to drink them out of a cup or container.

This isn't a couples event, but feel free to come with a partner or in groups.

Must be 21+

If you don't have any boxing gear, no worries- it will be provided for you.

20 persons maximum.
