Sparring

Sparring is a vital component for anyone looking to excel in boxing, kickboxing, or Muay Thai. As a form of fight simulation, it allows fighters to put their training into practice, testing their skills against a resisting opponent. While sparring mimics real combat, it remains a controlled environment, ensuring safety while providing invaluable experience. Engaging in regular sparring sessions not only helps you refine your techniques but also builds confidence and improves your overall performance in the ring. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced fighter, incorporating sparring into your training routine is essential for growth and mastery in any striking discipline.

What do you do during sparring sessions?

The purpose of a sparring session is to apply techniques from boxing, kickboxing, or Muay Thai in a fight simulation. At Mejiro Gym Bali, sparring typically consists of 12 to 15 rounds, each lasting 3 minutes, with participants rotating opponents every round.

For beginners and intermediates, sparring provides an invaluable opportunity to learn from more experienced fighters, discover new techniques, assess distance, and identify weaknesses in a controlled environment.

Don’t hesitate to join a sparring session, even as a beginner. More experienced fighters know how to manage their power and understand what you’re going through. Our strict no-bullying policy ensures that everyone feels welcome and supported during sparring.

What you need to join our sparring sessions

A comfortable sports outfit is essential for sparring sessions, and having your own mouthguard is highly recommended for optimal protection. While gloves, shin guards, and other equipment can be borrowed at the gym, having your own gear can enhance your experience and comfort.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How safe are Mejiro sparring sessions?

Mejiro sparring sessions prioritize safety and learning. While you’ll be practicing boxing, kickboxing, or Muay Thai, the goal is to learn from one another rather than to overpower each other. If you're a total beginner, you can expect a warm welcome from everyone, and rest assured that the more experienced fighters will take it easy on you.

Who decides how hard we can go in sparring?

The coach is in charge at the gym, and if they feel you’re going too hard and compromising safety, they will ask you to tone it down. Generally, the pace is set intuitively based on skill level, with a more relaxed approach for beginners and progressively increasing intensity for more experienced fighters.

Can I come sparring with you if I train in another gym?

Inter-club sparring is welcome but requires the coach's approval. If you need more details, feel free to contact us!
