Kickboxing
Kickboxing is a martial art that primarily uses punches, kicks, and throws. We are a friendly society that welcomes everyone, from the complete beginner to people reaching for competition standards, and we have professional instructors to cater for this. Please visit our Facebook page for more information: https://www.facebook.com/groups/sukickboxing Or send us a message on instagram @sukickboxing !
Kickboxing is a hand to hand self-defence combat sport that combines punches, kicks and throws. Unlike Muay Thai, elbows and knees are not used in sparring which reduces the risk of injury. We offer a friendly, informal training environment taught by professional instructors over multiple sessions a week. The sessions each have a different focus so you can train as casually or as intensely as you want to!
Sessions:
Monday 20:00-21:30 in Studio 3, Martial Arts, Jubilee Sports Centre - a casual session, ideal for beginners and improving comprehensive kickboxing skills.
Tuesday 17:00-18:30 in Studio 3, Martial Arts, Jubilee Sports Centre - a more general session, great for all levels of kickboxing skills.
Thursdays 18:00-19:30 in Studio 3, Martial Arts, Jubilee Sports Centre - a committee led session for improving sparring, move combinations and physical strength.
Fridays 19:00-20:30 in the Veg Out Space, SUSU Building - a committee led session for improving technique and sparring practice.
Saturdays 11:00 - 13:00 in Studio 3, Martial Arts, Jubilee Sports Centre - an energetic session, focused on fitness and cementing skills.
We also hope to hold opportunities for competing for those who wish to train competitively; please contact us if interested!
Some other perks include:
- Cheap membership
- Beginner to competitor standard
- Better agility
- Faster response time
- Better hand-eye coordination
- Improve strength - harder abs!
- More powerful kicks, punches and throws
- Better social life
