About Bokwa Fitness:
Bokwa is a trademarked name and workout that is derived from a combination of two words: "Bo" represents the light boxing and "Kwa" representing the cultural and traditional dance Kwaito, hence, Bokwa is born.
It 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 energising total body workout was created.
Bokwa is a unique dance fitness programme due to the use of letters and numbers as placement, combined with use of hand signals and American Sign Language. It is refreshing and builds strength and endurance driven by the pulsating rhythmic beats of African, Latin, popular dance and house music. Bokwa is an innovative dance fitness programme that is an abundance of fun and does not feel like a workout!
