All staff are full CRB checked and totally dedicated to developing your child's skills.

• Junior Martial Arts - 7 to 11 years

The junior programme is designed for kids aged 7-11 years of age and gives them the opportunity to thrive through physical fitness, a boost in confidence and respect for others.

Students, parents and teachers alike love these classes not only because they are fun but because the students are proactively encouraged to grow into responsible young adults. The classes work hand in hand with the students' schoolwork, providing improved self-discipline, self-confidence, concentration, mental alertness, co-operation, goal setting advice and anti-bully skills.

• Adult Kickboxing - 12+

This programme is fun and exciting and no class is exactly the same. With adult kickboxing you'll always learn something new and you can train at your own pace as classes are split into different levels. Kickboxing is not just about self-defence it is a great way to keep fit as well.

The programme is designed to increase muscle tone, flexibility, strength, confidence, weight loss, self-defence and much more. The classes are conducted at your pace so you won't be expected to perform like a professional until you are ready to be one!

• Ladies Only Kickboxing

Ladies only is a non-contact kickboxing fitness class that will improve your muscle tone, and sculpt your body and help with weight loss. The classes are suitable for all ladies, age & ability.

The classes are relaxed and set to your own pace, teaching self-defence techniques and building self-confidence. As is the case for all forms of martial arts, the programme also helps you to become more focused and aid with motivation in other areas of your life, such as work or study.

The class is ideal for individuals, mums and daughters and groups of friends as all participants are made to feel welcome.
