Gymbox, a fitness chain which comes up with innovative workouts such as the stiletto and rave workouts, has a new idea. The new exercise class is called ‘Chave Fighting’ and is essentially a self defence class. Participants are taught street-fighting techniques for disarming would-be attackers. There is even an actual hoodie (well a Gymbox trainer anyway) in the class for you to practice your moves on.

You work with a partner done and the routines are basic and easy t pick up, but interspersed with bursts of cardio activity, so you soon break into a sweat and get a good workout. The workout is particularly popular with London City boys who want to unleash some of that pent up stress.
