Kickboxing Fundamentals: Although a good class for new students, this is not a just a "beginners" class.

This class is required for all new students regardless of experience.
Kickboxing: Fundamental concepts/techniques are reviewed in warmup while the majority of class will cover more complex and advanced subjects. This class consists of technical drills, pad hitting, Dutch style combo exchanges and technical sparring. This class is not recommended for new students.
Open Mat Kickboxing: On Sundays, GSC is open at 12:00 pm for members to come work out on their own and with each other. There is no class structure so you are welcome to do what you want during the period.
