Kickboxing

A full body workout that utilises everything from elbows and knees to feet and fists. Call, message or click here to arrange your FREE trial sessions (no special equipment required to try).

Kickboxing improves mental and physical confidence

Why Kickboxing?

Kickboxing classes start from age 12, and combine the power of Taekwondo kicking, with western boxing and Muay Thai. You'll find a full body workout that utilises everything from elbows and knees to feet and fists.

Kickboxing provides a healthy and fun training environment, perfect for an excellent cardiovascular workout as well as improving general fitness and muscle tone. Whatever your age, it's an outstanding way to get fit, stay fit and build your confidence, while supported by a full Colour Belt Grading System.

Kickboxing sessions are fun and engaging

What does a typical Kickboxing session involve?

Classes begin with a solid warmup to get the blood flowing, the heart pumping and the muscles ready, before taking students through a variety of different techniques and combinations.

These techniques and combinations quickly train muscle memory, while keeping you working, ensuring both an excellent workout for your fitness, but also, a practical, effective training in self defence, with a healthy amount of conditioning for good measure!

kickboxing is suitable for everyone

Is Kickboxing for me?

Kickboxing is great for anyone willing to work hard and have fun, but especially suits those who may be put off by a more traditional Martial Art and some of the structure usually found within such sessions. Our Kickboxing Classes are very well structured, but you won't be learning stances and Kata – instead, you'll be training your muscles and mind, while receiving expert tuition in refining your technique.

If you want to focus and work hard on yourself, while meeting decent, friendly people, building and improving your own physical and mental health, then all you need is to be ready to commit to yourself!

Gradings

As you progress and improve there are opportunities throughout the year to be assessed on what you have learned. These are called gradings and if the instructor feels you have shown that you have learned and improved you will be rewarded with your next colour of belt. The colour of your belt signifies the level you have achieved and comes with an immense sense of achievement and respect from your fellow students.

The gradings usually involve the majority students and is a coming together of students from all sessions and a great way to share the sense of achievement and support each other as a club.

See our Grading Theory page for more information of belts and learning requirements for each.

Competitions

Local competitions take place most years and are an chance to test your skills.

They are optional, but whilst it isn't a requirement to attend it is a great way to meet SCMA members from other sessions and also the wider Taekwondo community. They are a chance to challenge yourself in a competitive environment and celebrate everyones achievement.

The competition days usually involve different ways to compete; Patterns – where you compete against someone of a similar level to show your pattern, Sparring – a chance to pit your contact skills against someone of a similar size, weight and level to score points, Highest kick and Longest flying kick.

What do I need to bring to my first FREE Trial session?

Firstly a willingness to listen and learn, then a sense of self control and respect for your instructor and fellow students. Whilst the sessions are a chance to learn a form of self defence it is important that this is done with everyones safety first and foremost.

As for kit and clothing, our Trial Sessions are a chance for you to get a taste without spending out on gear and class fees – if you decide Taekwondo is for you, all we ask is that you eventually purchase a uniform, such as you would see in any Dojang, prices for uniforms are relatively low, if you have any concerns, just ask!
