Getting Ready to Train
Before your first session, make sure you have:
- A small space to move (2x2 meters is enough)
- Comfortable workout clothes
- Water nearby
- Optional: Training gloves, focus mitts
Types of Training
SAMI-X offers several ways to train:
Guided Trainings
Guided trainings are video-led workout sessions where you follow along with an instructor. They suit beginners well because:
- Clear instructions for each technique
- Warm-up and cool-down included
- Various difficulty levels
- Each session takes about 30 minutes
How to start:
- Go to Train → Guided Trainings

Your First Guided Training

- Choose a session (each takes about 30 minutes)
- Follow the on-screen instructions
Tips for Success
- Start slow: Don't worry about perfection in your first sessions
- Stay consistent: Even 10 minutes daily is better than one long session per week
