EW Program Descriptions
Aikido
Aikido is a subtle or internal form of jujutsu. While it is commonly referred to as “the art of peace”, aikido is a very effective form of self defense. Because of its reliance on the laws of physics instead of physical strength, aikido is an ideal art for those who may not be physically confident in certain situations. Holistic in nature, aikido practice has many benefits including strength and cardio conditioning, breath-work, flexibility, weight loss, mental focus and more. Weapons training are also part of the aikido program.

Boxing
Boxers and kickboxers are considered to be the most well-conditioned
athletes in the world. They are also highly skilled combat
technicians. Unlike the cardio boxing routines offered in many franshised gyms, training sessions at EW are based on the training regimine of professional fighters. There are no aerobic-style dance movements taught at EW. At EW, we focus on showing you how to condition your body and mind like a professional fighter… whether you’re taking your first class or have trained for years.
The boxing program at East-West focus on strong technique and high intensity to build muscle tone, reduce fat, gain endurance and develop sound combat skills. Both require internal fortitude, commitment and determination to achieve the desired results.
Asim's Boxing Classes emphasize fundamental skills such as footwork, posture, proper punching technique, and defensive manuvuers.
Boxing also has considerable lower-body toning and strength benefits which are supplemented by specific exercises (such as squats and lunges) as part of the conditioning component.
Youth Boxing
A competitive boxing program for boys and girls ages 8-16. Competitions are organized through USA Boxing, the national governing body for Olympic style boxing competition. For more info, click here.
Personal Training
Personal training is a great way to support the work you do in group training. One-on-one time with a trainer is highly recommended to understand the finer points of any discipline. Personal training can focus on any aspect of training including conditioning and breath work and is customized to help you reach your unique goals.
