Students picking and practising pad fitness combinations during our Wednesday, 19:30 Kickboxing class at Loddon Valley.

Our Thai Kik Jitsu Kickboxing training follows a phased approach during which you will:
1. learn how to box and kick followed by how to use your elbows and knees
2. learn Jiu Jitsu elements like trips, throws and self defence
3. learn to defend yourself against knife attacks
4. improve your fitness, coordination and stamina (and find a new tribe to have fun with!)
