WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING?
Wear comfortable workout clothing which allows ease of movement for exercises such as squats, over head pressing and lunging. Check out what’s hot in the Les Mills clothing range, which is designed with each of our classes in mind.
Gym shoes. We recommend cross-trainers over running shoes, because they’ll give you better foot support for the types of movement you’ll be doing in class.
Drink bottle.
Towel. BODYCOMBAT® makes for sweaty warriors!

 

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I TAKE A CLASS?
BODYCOMBAT® is addictive, but don’t overdo it. For best results try and battle it out two or three times a week.

 

BODYCOMBAT® is the empowering cardio workout where you are totally unleashed. This fiercely energetic program is inspired by martial arts and draws from a wide array of disciplines such as karate, boxing, taekwondo, tai chi and muay thai. Supported by driving music and powerful role model instructors, you strike, punch, kick and kata your way through calories to superior cardio fitness. Like all the Les Mills programmes, a new BODYCOMBAT® class is produced every three months with new music and choreography.

LEARN THE MOVES

A TYPICAL CLASS

Your BODYCOMBAT® instructor will lead you through a series of moves from a range of martial arts, to a series of different music tracks.

 

1 You’ll begin by learning all the moves that will be used throughout the class, and warming up your body and mind for the battle ahead.
2 Visualise your opponent and unleash into a series of fight combinations. The focus is on speed, power and endurance. There will be time to recover as you prepare for the each phase, with a final fight for your life that will seal the deal on your fitness objectives.
3 Finally, you will take to the floor and cap off the workout with some strength training. Then it’s payback time – stretch out those hard-worked muscles after your fight.

 

WILL BODYCOMBAT® HELP ME IN SELF-DEFENCE?

BODYCOMBAT® is a non-contact fitness program, not a self-defence course. However fitness is beneficial in any situation.
