If you follow me on Twitter, you know that I attend combat classes and have been doing so since the beginning of July. It has been more than a month already since I began Combat Cardio, so I think it’s about time I share with you the experience so far.

It all started when a friend of mine mentioned combat training to me. At the time, I was looking for fitness classes that would line up perfectly with my schedule. I work from 9am to 6pm, and most of the classes are either too far from where I will be coming from or the last class will start at 5pm. To be honest, I was never the best at working out at an actual gym, so I prefer taking classes.


It was as if the fitness gods have all agreed to give me what I want when I found out that Combat Cardio was offering a promo for a 1-month membership. More so, the classes are at 7-8PM and 8-9PM. When I spoke with the trainer and owner, Jay-Ar, he said he wanted to cater to those who have work that’s why he planned out the schedule to be like so.


More than a month into it and now that we are at a new location, it has turned into some sort of an addiction that always leaves me wanting to learn more after each class. Not only was I getting a good dose of cardio, I was also learning about self-defense.


Based on experience, this is a good stepping-stone for workout beginners who just want to be more active. Jay-Ar will start you off with manageable workouts and build it up as you go along. There are actually a lot of newbies right now, so it’s absolutely the perfect time to join.
