Advice for Class

Hi all

I posted a while back about classes vs 1-1 training, and the consensus was that a mix of both is ideal.

I’ve now joined a class and have had a couple of sessions. The beginners classes are very much fitness oriented (half the 75 minute session is spent doing skipping / circuits). I don’t mind this as my fitness sucks ass. And I think the intermediate classes focus more on technique, so it’s something to work towards.

The other half of the session is doing combos in pairs. We’ll spend roughly ten minutes on a particular combo (alternating after 2-3 minutes).

I wanted to ask how I should approach the combos. Should I focus on:

• speed, making light contact and keeping my heart rate high, or
• slowing it down, and emphasise power and form, or
• somewhere in the middle of the above two.

Thanks in advance
