Castle Donington - PKA Kickboxing

So, you want to start kickboxing but the idea of coming down for the first time is really daunting. There can be a lot of questions you might have before attending.

You might wonder about the unknown: what do we actually do in a class? Do I need prior experience? What will the people training there be like?

🧐Let’s answer some of those questions!

Our classes follow a structure (that might change slightly from time to time, but generally follow this pattern).

🥊We’ll always start with a stretch and a warmup, then we’ll move onto padwork (or sometimes we’ll do grading sets first) - the majority of the lesson will be working in pairs on a routine broken down into segments. Then sometimes we may do some conditioning work (not loads, we promise!), then we’ll stretch again and you’re all done! ✅

We start and end every lesson with a bow, to show respect to the room and everyone we’re training with 🙏

You don’t need any prior experience, we’ll guide you through everything you need to know. We’re here to train, but also to enjoy ourselves. For many, these lessons can be more about just releasing some stress instead of coming down to do the worlds best round kick, we get it 🥊

🥊Technique in Focus at KickboxUK Castle Donington ❤️

A great snapshot from a session at Castle Donington, Coach Matt demonstrating a high kick with real precision, while our juniors sat and watched closely, taking in every detail of the technique.
It's easy to think kickboxing is just about kicking hard, but as you can see, it's about so much more: balance, control, and correct form through the whole movement. That's what keeps our members safe and helps them improve properly, kick by kick.
A brilliant example of learning through watching, and a reminder of the care and coaching that goes into every session at KickboxUK Castle Donington. 👏

🥊🥊A huge well done to every student who stepped up to grade today, the effort, focus and determination on show made everyone at KickboxUK incredibly proud.
Results will be given out in next week's class, so hang in there a little longer! For anyone successful, belt presentations will follow the week after.
A massive thank you also goes to our incredible coaching team for all the time and support given to help every student put their best foot forward on the day.
Well done again to all — we can't wait to celebrate with you soon! 👊
