Kickboxing is a stand-up combat sport. It is based on kicking and punching, developed from a mix of Muay Thai, boxing, and Karate. Kickboxing is practiced for self-defense, fitness, or as a contact sport. The class involves pad work, sparring, partner training and conditioning.

We encourage parents to watch their children in their kids martial arts lessons. We love parents getting involved! And so do their kids. Even better… join into some of our martial arts classes for adults. Your kids will love that you have something in common. It will build a strong family bond!
Additionally, if you wanted some ‘me-time’? Simply drop them off, and go grab a coffee. They will greet you with a huge smile when you return, because they had SO much fun!
