Kickboxing is a dying sport :-( dying because has strong competition from Muay Thai and MMA, dying because it has higher barrier to entry than other fighting sports. Or perhaps because we at CARISMA approach training and teaching with no compromises and we expect our athletes to do things right rather just about. However I am very pleased that we always manage to keep a busy club with a large membership of people who go the extra mile to train hard and are eager to learn and improve. I feel lucky to have amazing collaborators like Duncan Grisby, Meitar Blumenfeld, Yifei Liu and a couple of others who are not on Facebook, helping and supporting the club in teaching a single and unified technique which we know wins fights. If you are planning to learn kickboxing, whether you are 12 or 50+, August could be the right time. Click here and join us then:
