Bokwa is an exercise dance class that combines cardio conditioning, strength training and flexibility. Furthermore, it integrates customary African dance with boxing manoeuvres. The name came from a combination of two other words; "BO" stands for light boxing and "KWA" symbolizes the traditional dance Kwaito.
A certified fitness instructor and dancer, Paul Mavi, created Bokwa Fitness in 2000. Mavi says "The magic of it all is something called click-click. Click-click is a two-step that you do that actually changes in the next step or move forward. It allows you to know where you're going."
Bokwa and the Guinness Book of World Records
The Bokwa Fitness company held their first Bokwathon on Dec. 11, 2011, in an attempt to set a new Guinness Book of World Record for having the most people present at an exercise class in the United Kingdom.
Bokwa is for everyone
Bokwa was created with the intent to benefit everyone, from auditory learners to kinaesthetic and visual learners.
Bokwa is the only fitness program to date that uses American Hand Sign Language and BOKWA Hand Signs to teach everyone in the class, including those who are hearing impaired.
Do you feel that you are not very coordinated? Bokwa is still for you because the steps were specially designed using numbers, letters and words. The instructor will use this to tell the class what to spell out with their feet.
While Bokwa is a challenging workout, it can be adjusted for anyone at any fitness level.
Bokwa is an intense cardiovascular workout combined with South African war dance, Capoeira, Kickboxing and Steps. It has been proven to burn a great amount of calories making it easier for weight
loss goals. Through the use of fast paced extreme movement, a fun, challenging, and energizing total body workout was created.
