Adult Kickboxing

Build power. Move better. Fight sharper.

Adult kickboxing built around strength and conditioning, mobility, pad work and progressive sparring. Train for fitness, technique and confidence whether you are brand new or already experienced.

The programme

More than just hitting pads.

Kickboxing combines striking skill with the physical qualities needed to use it well. That means learning clean technique, but also developing the conditioning, movement and confidence to perform when the pace rises.

Training can stay technical and fitness-focused, or progress into controlled light sparring and harder full-contact rounds as your experience and confidence develop.

What you'll train

Five parts of Adult Kickboxing.

01

Strength & Conditioning

Build the engine behind your kickboxing. Conditioning work develops stamina, work capacity, power and the ability to keep your technique together when you are tired.

02

Mobility & Flexibility

Better movement makes better kickboxing. Sessions include mobility and flexibility work to help you move more freely, improve kicking range and build control through your full range of motion.

Pad Work

Pad rounds are where combinations start to come alive. You will work punches, kicks, movement, timing and accuracy while building the fitness to throw sharp combinations repeatedly.

04

Full Contact

For members who are ready for it, full-contact training adds pressure and realism. It is introduced progressively, with coached rounds focused on composure, defence, timing and applying technique against resistance.

05

Semi Contact · Light Sparring

Light sparring lets you practise against a moving partner without every exchange becoming a battle. The emphasis is on control, clean technique, reactions, distance and learning how to stay relaxed under pressure.
