Intro to KICKBOXING (Special Donation Class) – women / girls ages 13+ Led by Michelle Ingkavet Cavanagh , Studio Co-Owner & Former Martial Arts Black Belt Instructor
In honor of Women’s History Month, we gather. We sweat. We hit things. 🔥
This beginner-friendly Intro to Kickboxing is about stepping into your power — together. You’ll learn foundational stance, punches, kicks, and simple combinations in a supportive, high-energy space where no one is expected to “already know.”
No experience needed.
Kickboxing is strength. It’s release. It’s focus. It’s fire in your belly. There is something deeply affirming about taking up space, feeling your feet grounded, and striking with intention. It reminds you that you are strong. Capable. Not to be underestimated.
This class is for every woman who wants to feel more powerful in her body. Every woman who wants to try something new. Every woman who has ever needed an outlet.
We move together. We cheer each other on. We leave stronger than we came in.
This is a donation-based class, and the majority of March 2026 Donation Class proceeds will benefit the Hance Family Foundation, whose mission supports young women through self-esteem and personal safety programs.
Come ready to move. Come ready to claim your space. 🥊🔥
