About the class

Total Body Solution Kickboxing — Intro to Sparring

TBS KB is Kalev Fitness's shorthand for Total Body Solution Kickboxing. This introductory sparring class is designed for strikers of all levels who wish to train for sparring — whether you are stepping into partner work for the first time or sharpening timing you already have.

The class is semi-private, taught by Coach Jan and capped at 10 athletes. Sessions are built around drills, padwork, and partner drills, with sparring drills worked in progressively. Every block is run on The Strike Method™ — a motor-control based coaching methodology that fuses human physiology with martial knowledge, taught through Motor Learning Sequences (MLS).

Approval required. Attendance in this class requires Coach Jan's approval, and the class is invitation / referral only. If you have not been invited or referred, reach out first — see How to register below.

Who it's for

Open to athletes of all levels, training in:

  • Boxing
  • Muay Thai
  • Kickboxing

No prior sparring experience is required — the class is built as an introduction. What is expected is the equipment below and a readiness to work with a partner.

What you need to bring

  • Fitted mouthguard Must be a fitted mouthguard — not a boil-and-bite. Required for the class.
  • 16-ounce sparring gloves 16 oz specifically. Required for the class.
  • Shinguards Required for the class.
  • Handwraps Required for the class.

Pricing & commitment

This is a commitment-based program. A commitment of 6 months minimum is strongly recommended — sparring is a skill built over time, and the progression in this class depends on consistent attendance. Agreements are available at 3, 6, or 12 months.

How the agreements actually work. Even though the payments are billed monthly, what you are committing to is a number of classes. The length of the agreement sets your per-class rate; the frequency sets how many classes fall into each month. Go to more classes than your plan covers in a given month and you are simply charged the same per-class rate for each extra class — for example, two extra classes on the 3-month plan would bring that month to $80.
Kalev Fitness terminology. VIP is Kalev Fitness Solution's term for a member who pays monthly. VIP2 means paying for 2 sessions per month; VIP4 means paying for 4 sessions per month. The plans above are set up in the Kalev system under these names.
