chess boxing STAG DO INTRO
it’s exactly what it says on the tin, a unique combination of chess and boxing. This is a new activity ideal for men that are blessed with brains AND brawn! This class is a fun and exciting way to start a stag do. The fun comes from continuously switching between tasks and trying to keep it all together. Who said men can’t multi-task?! Chess boxing consists of alternating rounds of chess and boxing. You can win by either check-mating your opponent, knockout (unlikely to happen in a stag party), judges decision or if the opponent fails to make a chess move in his permitted time. If the chess reaches a stalemate, then the player with the most points won in boxing will be the winner.
format
you’ll start with fitness and boxing technique warm up, which is followed by chess boxing simulation and once everyone knows what to do, that’s when you can get stuck in. No one actually gets hurt due to strict supervision and the full protective gear. The first round is 4 minutes of chess, followed by 3 minutes of boxing. There is a break between each round. This is done for up to 11 rounds or until a winner is announced!
