kickboxing is a great way to get fit. The term includes a number of different styles, but essentially they all revolve around using both punches and kicks to attack and defend against an opponent, in contrast to traditional boxing which only uses punching. A kickboxing club is a great place to learn self-defence, get fit, meet people and maybe spar with them once you have progressed a little way. In terms of kickboxing London has plenty to offer, with lots of clubs suitable for all. Just search the web or look in the local ads and you are bound to find something.

Classes are run at different times and on different days, so no matter what your timetable there will usually be something you can attend. The nature of martial arts is that, particularly at the beginning, it’s best to train as frequently as possible, and ideally at least twice a week. This enables you to gain fitness and flexibility as well as give yourself a good grounding in the basic moves – punches, kicks, blocks and footwork – that you will need. Like anything, the more you train the further and faster you will progress, but it’s important to get that basic grounding.

Many clubs offer a free taster session, recognising that lots of learners won’t want to sign up without knowing exactly what they’re getting into. For many people, their only idea of kickboxing and the martial arts more broadly will come from film. Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it), those bad 1980s portrayals of karate, kung-fu and kickboxing clubs are not the reality when you actually turn up. Times have obviously changed…

In any case, if you are looking to learn kickboxing London should have something to offer you. Sessions are typically fun and light to begin with – there’s no advantage to throwing someone in at the deep end, and safety concerns are taken as seriously as possible. Wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothes – a tracksuit, t-shirt or shorts are fine until you want to buy a gi or uniform, if the kickboxing club in question has one. Some are more formal than others in this way. kickboxing is taught by trained instructors who have practised for many years, though they are often assisted by competent students. With application and time, you could be teaching it yourself before too long.
