🥊 NEW SCHOOL YEAR. NEW ROUTINE. NEW CONFIDENCE 💪
Kids are heading back to school this week… so why not start a new routine that gives them skills for life?
Our kids’ kickboxing classes are about SO much more than punching and kicking.
👊 Learn practical self-defence
💪 Build confidence & resilience
🧠 Develop discipline & focus
🤝 Learn respect & teamwork
🥊 Get fitter, stronger & more active
❤️ Make new friends and have fun!
As they grow, they’ll develop confidence that carries over from the academy into everyday life.
📍 LOCAL & EASY TO GET TO
We’re based at Hallam Mill, just across the A6 from Aquinas College.
🎉 FREE TRIAL CLASS!

🥊 Give them the confidence to stand tall, the discipline to keep going and the skills to look after themselves.
LET’S GET STARTED! 🔥
Our Thursday disability class students constantly smash their class with both bag and partnered work.
Nothing holds these guys back, always showing how amazing they are!!
They're also funny!! While they might work hard, they always have time for some mischief, often at Coach Andrew's expense 😉
We're very inclusive at DEFCON with everyone always welcoming and helpful in every class. Not only do we have our Thursday disability class, we also have a FREE Saturday disability class for ALL disabilities. We want everyone to be able to enjoy kickboxing, no matter who they are.
Are focus is self defence and building confidence, we feel this should be available to everyone hence why we set up DEFCON Academy.
Contact us if you'd like to have a free trial class or book in for our free Saturday disability class.
Due to a family emergency, the academy will be closed today.
Hi all,
Just a heads up, there won't be a morning class tomorrow.

Please note,
There will be no 10am to 11am class tomorrow, Tuesday 28th July, due to an early morning appointment.
