The American Kickboxing sport was invented by American martial artists in 1970, as a result of combining Boxing punches & tactics, with the kicks of Karate. The primary intention was to create a new sport where karate practitioners in the USA could fight with full contact & with rounds like in boxing, since they weren't allowed to in traditional Karate tournaments. The first event of American Kickboxing was held on January 17 of 1970, fighting Joe Lewis vs Greg Baines.
 
At this class we teach Light Continuous and Full Contact Kickboxing rules and techniques.
 
A regular class involves a warm up & stretch, followed by pad-work, sparring moves, counters, self-defence, sparring, fitness & conditioning.

Some people choose to train at this class simply for fitness, and have no interest in competing. However, if you feel you'd like to have a go, we have many contacts within the sport and can push our fighters forward for sanctioned full contact events and competitions.
