Our aim is for every session to be both challenging and enjoyable, allowing you to learn and grow while feeling comfortable in your journey.

We’re vigilant about maintaining a supportive environment, so you will never encounter negativity or ego-driven attitudes here. Our academy is free from bullies, show-offs, or energy-draining attitudes.
We carefully cultivate a positive, inclusive space, ensuring all members feel welcome and safe, no matter their skill level or background.
Our Aims and Objectives
Our training is tailored to prepare you with:
- Improved health, fitness, and confidence for adults and children alike
- Practical self-defense skills for real-world situations
- A structured path from white to black belt, adapted to each student’s journey
- Preparation for amateur and professional fights, both in the UK and internationally
We’re a friendly, dedicated team ready to support your progress every step of the way.
Each session brings maximum benefits in fitness, skill development, and confidence-building, alongside a welcoming, team-oriented atmosphere.
Warm Up And Stretches
- Every class begins with a dynamic warm-up designed to get your blood pumping and muscles prepared. Cardio routines include skipping, circuit exercises, and tyre workouts, each chosen to build endurance and activate your whole body.
- After the warm-up, we move into a 10-minute stretching session, adjusted to suit all experience levels. Beginners will start with manageable stretches, while advanced students can engage in deeper, more intense stretching to maximize flexibility.
- There’s no need to be in peak shape when starting kickboxing; our training adjusts to your fitness level, helping you progressively enhance stamina, endurance, and overall fitness as you advance.
Techniques
- In our technique training, you’ll master foundational skills, from finding the right stance and hand positioning to developing fluid footwork.
- You’ll learn proper punching and kicking techniques, along with basic blocks and evasions for self-defense.
- As you grow more confident, you’ll move on to more intricate combinations that sharpen accuracy and timing.
- For those aiming to compete, we cover fight strategies that give an edge in the ring. Our approach is individualized, allowing you to progress at a comfortable pace and ensuring you’re fully prepared for each level.
Pad Work
- Pad work is a full-body workout that sharpens cardio, strength, reflexes, and mental focus. You’ll practice punching and kicking combinations with an instructor or training partner holding pads, perfecting form and technique.
- This includes drill work focused on effective strike sequences and conditioning.
- Our sessions incorporate a variety of strikes, from roundhouse and side kicks to spinning, jump, and front kicks, as well as knee techniques, creating a well-rounded foundation in kickboxing.
Bag Work
- Bag work emphasizes power, endurance, and precision. You’ll engage in single and combination strikes on both light and heavy bags, building strength and cardio capacity.
- This training refines muscle tone across the body and enhances technique, helping you adopt and experiment with freestyle combinations.
- Bag work provides a great setting for trying new moves, improving your fitness and refining your style in a controlled environment.
Sparring
- Sparring introduces the practical experience of a fight scenario, sharpening mental and physical skills essential in the ring. It improves reaction times, footwork, speed, offense, and defense.
- You’ll gain confidence as you work on real-time decision-making, moving seamlessly between offensive and defensive maneuvers.
- This part of training is designed to be safe and supportive, offering you a controlled environment to practice your skills, push your limits, and apply everything you’ve learned.
