Martin Palmer, kickboxer from Derby"I've been training with PKA-Kickboxing for nearly 5 years now. One of the main reasons I joined was to improve my confidence… only after a short time I was already feeling more sure of myself. Now I can talk to people much better and… I know I can defend myself if anyone gives me trouble… The whole thing has given me a great sense of achievement and reward. It's a big part of my life now. I've never got bored as on top of the already great classes... courses and special training days are always available… I am extremely proud that I am involved in such a brilliant organisation."

     PKA-Kickboxing is one of the safest of all martial arts for several reasons. All classes are well designed and supervised. Protective equipment is compulsory. Sparring is optional. You are not forced to fight if you don't want to (unlike so many other martial arts). Most students do not want to spar in class or in competitions... but for those that do we have dedicated sessions just for sparring.

     So, if sparring is not compulsory then how do you ever put theory into practice!

A Unique Approach...

     PKA-Kickboxing is proud to have a unique syllabus. Instead of just learning kickboxing movements into thin air or even just punching pads or bags (which we do anyway) we have 'Technical Sets'... these are:

     Specific combinations of Kickboxing movements which are put together and performed with a fellow student. They are a very natural and fluid way of learning... through repetition good skills will come quickly and easily to you.

     Your Instructor will give you a thorough understanding of Kickboxing basics over the first few months. As your skills improve, more combinations and techniques will be shown to you. All the time your fitness, flexibility and confidence will be improving.

 How Fit Do You Have
To Be To Start?

     All of our training is structured and we treat all our new students as 'unfit'. We allow you to train at your own pace with lots of encouragement. We know you will make rapid progress once training in a PKA-Kickboxing school regardless of your physique, natural ability, condition or experience.

     Training, although serious, is conducted in a friendly atmosphere and all our Instructors are very approachable.

     Your Instructor is a highly qualified Black Belt, but we insist on more. All have nationally recognised 1st4sport coaching awards, highest level police checks for teaching with children (enhanced CRB) and high quality insurance.

"When I joined PKA-Kickboxing I was very unfit. I was 34 and hadn't exercised properly in over 10 years. Lifting weights or running didn't appeal to me. My friend Keith had started Kickboxing training and said I should have a go too. Lack of fitness had always worried me but I was very pleased that the PKA Instructor understood and brought me on at sensible pace. Kickboxing is the best thing I have ever done".

Can my kids do it
and is it safe?

     Yes your kids can do it - and - yes it is very safe, because PKA-Kickboxing Instructors always follow current good guidelines in teaching children, from both a physical point of view and wearing protective equipment. Children are treated especially well and learn respect, honesty and team building skills.

     Many parents bring their children to PKA-Kickboxing classes to help them gain confidence, to help vent their anger, make friends, learn how to deal with bullies, get fit or just for a break from mom and dad!

"I first brought my son Alex to Kickboxing because he was being bullied at school. My main concern however was that all he would learn was how to kick or punch a bully which might land him in more trouble. Over the weeks the Instructor didn't just teach the kids kicking and punching but other skills such as self control and respect for others. My son changed a lot. He started mixing more and was much more confident. When his teachers asked how he'd changed over the months, I said Kickboxing had changed him - they were shocked as they thought Kickboxing was a violent sport - I told them not at Alex's club. I want to thank Dave [Alex's Instructor] for what he has done for my son and the other kids in the class.

Can I See A Class First?

YES! In fact you can go one better and have a go... for FREE. We do not run a boot camp or "who's the hardest nut in the room" type classes. You are there to enjoy yourself... not to be tortured, as what happens in a lot of other Martial Arts.

All PKA-Kickboxing classes are designed for the individual wanting the best sport kickboxing available.
