Weight planner

Plan your weight class safely

Enter your target weight and days remaining to reach your competition class and see the weekly loss percentage and risk level. Cutting weight through extreme dehydration is dangerous: do not do it without a coach and physician plan.

Make a plan with a coach

This calculation is for information only; a weight-cutting plan should be made only with the approval of the coach and sports physician. Cutting weight through sweating, diuretics and sudden fluid restriction carries serious risk for the kidneys, heart and brain and is forbidden in our academy. Weight is not cut in children and teens. If your target weight is higher than your current weight, the results are meaningless.

Voices from the ring

I started boxing at 34 having never exercised. Working non-contact in the first month was very good for me; I lost 14 kg in 8 months and am now preparing for my first bout.
Mert AydoğduSoftware Engineer, Ümraniye
I went to the self-defence course for women with a friend. Gamze's teaching is very clear and the scenarios are realistic. I feel much safer coming home from night shifts.
Gül ErdoğanNurse, Başakşehir
My son joined the Mini group at 9. He is more confident, waits his turn and respects his class. The feedback in parent meetings is very clear.

FAQ

Know before you start

I have never exercised; can I start combat sports?
Yes. Beginner groups are non-contact for the first 4–6 weeks; stance, footwork and basic strikes are taught. Most of our members started with no sports background.
Is a medical report compulsory?
Yes. A report issued within the last 6 months stating that there is no obstacle to combat sports is required. Sports physician approval is requested for cardiovascular disease, epilepsy, eye problems, disc herniation, a history of head trauma or pregnancy.
Is sparring compulsory; will I be hit in the head?
No. Sparring is done only with those who choose the relevant group, under coach supervision, with level and weight matching. There is no contact to the face in beginner and children's groups.
What equipment should I buy?
In the first session equipment is from the academy. Afterwards boxing gloves (12–14 oz), wraps, a mouthguard and clean sportswear are enough. BJJ needs a kimono and rashguard; sparring needs headgear and shin guards.
At what age can my child start?
From age 6 they can join the Mini group. Programmes are non-contact and play-based. Guardian consent and a medical report are needed.
Is there a women-only group?
Yes. The self-defence course is women-only and taught by female coaches. Women also make up a good share of boxing, kickboxing and BJJ classes.

Your first session is on us

Gloves, wraps and a mouthguard are provided by the academy. All you need to bring is comfortable clothing and curiosity.
