Kickboxing

SWKA’s kickboxing classes are semi-contact, which means light contact to the head and body. Student safety is taken very seriously and the club always has trained first aiders at events and are fully insured.

We train under BKBU kick boxing rules – as that’s who we fight under – and so we focus on semi-contact which means learning the skill in boxing rather than just trying to knock your opponent out!

SWKA sessions combine a mixture of activities during their classes including;

• Focus and kick pad work
• Stretching
• Line work to improve balance and co-ordination
• Self-defence drills
• Sparring
• Take downs

Kickboxing classes have many benefits for students who take part, and the welfare of students are important and the SWKA does everything it can to reduce the likelihood of injury and we do have a great injury record through fight days and class sessions, with only 3 injuries in 8 years sustained by students.

Some of the benefits for students are as follows;

• Improved self-esteem
• Improved self-discipline
• Improved self-confidence
• Improved hand-eye co-ordination
• Improved co-ordination
• Decreased body fat and weight
• The chance to make new friends
• Learn self-defence and how to defend yourself should you ever be attacked
• Chance to compete at great, safe events
• Chance for students to grade to improve their skill level
