The Underdog B.O.Y.S Club will introduce students to basic martial arts and fitness with the goal of getting them moving, learning new skills, and getting them fit and healthy. This will be a non-contact, non-competitive hybrid martial arts and fitness training class taught by certified instructors.

Topics of focus will include:

  • Basic martial arts stance and movement
  • How to punch and kick bags and pads
  • Body weight calisthenics and circuit training
  • Cardio and strength training
  • Nutrition
  • Mindfulness

Classes will take place over an 8-week period from September 17 to November 5 on Sundays from 12:30 to 2:00 PM.


We are excited to begin this partnership with a non-profit such as Generational Wellbeing Inc. and instruct Hartford youth about the fundamentals of mixed martial arts and provide necessary mentorship for them.”
