Basically I came in one early morning for jiu jitsu class as the boxing class is finishing and the boxing guys are coming down. Cesario is chatting to Zoro and Zoro mentions I'm from the Philippines or something like that, to which Cesario exclaims "Manny Pacquiao!" .... and that's how it all got started.
Classes
This is a basic outline of what we'd go through in a boxing class.
- Warm up and stretches
- Drill techniques: Jabs, Cross, 1-2's, hooks, uppercuts etc (with weights in hand or just with gloves)
- Partner drills working a combo: 1-2 hook partner blocks then returns with same combo
- 4-5 rounds of shadow sparring (without making contact)
- 4-5 Rounds of live sparring (with contact)
- Warm down, including 100's of sits ups and stretches
Sometimes we'd focus more time on one thing than the others e.g. more partner drills or more shadow sparring or more live sparring. But that just gives you a general idea of what to expect in the classes. Either way you'll definitely work up a good sweat.
Class times:
Mon: 7am - 8am & 8pm - 9pm
Weds: 7am - 8am & 8pm - 9pm
Fri: 7am - 8am & 8pm - 9pm
Cesario also has a gym out in Jacarepagua, which I haven't been to yet but will definitely go to when I go back. Alot of the Vale Tudo guys go there to train so you know they're good.

As you can see there's a mix of ages in the class. This was the Friday morning class at the night classes we also get some girls in the mix. Also that old guy on the right is pretty good at boxing and does jiu jitsu as well, though I'm not sure what belt. He's pretty fit and often after classes does planks with a swiss ball and holds headstands for hours. I hope I'm in bad ass a shape as he is when I'm his age.
