Kahen-sei Martial Arts

Sunday Sparring Session Round-Up! 🔥

​Incredible work put in by everyone on the mats today during our Sunday sparring session. The energy, focus, and technical standard were top-tier across the board. Iron definitely sharpens iron!

​A massive thank you to Stephen from North Star Martial Arts Mickleover for coming over to join us and putting in some fantastic rounds with the team. It’s always great to welcome visiting martial artists through the doors, share knowledge, and push each other to the next level.

​Brilliant effort from all involved today. Time to recover, review, and get ready to go again! 🥋💥

Saturday Morning Energy at Kahen-sei! 🥋🔥

​What an absolute powerhouse of a morning down at the academy! The energy levels were through the roof, and the standard of work across every single class was phenomenal.

​From sharp combinations and relentless pad work to solid technical rounds, everyone brought their absolute A-game today. That’s how you set the tone for the weekend!
​Massive well done to all our students who showed up, put the graft in, and pushed past their limits this morning. Proud of every single one of you.

​Time to recover, refuel, and get ready to do it all over again next week. Let’s keep that momentum rolling!

We’ve had a very rare occurrence at the academy today... Grace has finally missed a session!

​As many of you know, Grace hardly ever misses a training session. However, we more than happily excuse her absence today—she’s spent her day volunteering down at the local dogs home instead!

​Massive respect to Grace for showing the same incredible heart, hard work, and community spirit outside the dojo as she always brings to the mats. 🐾🥊

A massive shout-out and congratulations to Sat for running a fantastic 5k today to support The Liaison Amani Children's Charity!

​It’s an incredible effort for a truly wonderful cause helping vulnerable children..

​There is still time to show your support and donate if you'd like to chip in!

Flexible Friday at Kahen-sei! 🥋✨
​
Seeing the incredible progress our students have made with their flexibility is what it's all about. Consistent training, dedication, and pushing those limits every single week is paying off!

​Check out some of our students showing off their hard-earned range of motion today. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced martial artist, flexibility is key to both performance and longevity in training.
​Great work, everyone! Keep stretching, keep moving, and keep crushing your goals.

🥋 HUGE CONGRATULATIONS TO MUHAMMAD! 🥋
​We are incredibly proud to announce that Muhammad has officially passed his grading for his 6th Kyu Green Belt! 🎉
​Earning a green belt takes focus, technical skill, and true grit—qualities Muhammad displays every single time he steps onto the mat. What makes this milestone even more impressive is his relentless drive: training a massive 5 days a week!

​His discipline, consistency, and passion for the sport are an inspiration to everyone at the dojo/gym. The hard work is clearly paying off, and we can’t wait to see what he achieves next on his martial arts journey.
​Drop a comment below to send Muhammad some well-deserved congratulations! 👏🔥

🥊 IT’S FRIDAY NIGHT KICKBOXING! 🥊

​The weekend starts right here under the bright lights! 🔥 Our athletes have put in the sweat, sparring, and heavy-bag rounds all week, and tonight it all comes together in the ring.

​Whether you're cageside to feel the thunder or cheering from home, expect explosive combos, relentless pace, and pure heart from bell to bell.

Our first wave of instructors to introduce UK Shootboxing into their training were Wayne Thomas and Richard Noden

Our second wave of instructors will be here very soon which is really exciting to see how our association and our formats are growing and being received.

UK Shootboxing might be a great fit for you if any of the following criteria is applicable to you as a martial artist.

✅ Do you have dan grades in both striking and grappling arts?
✅ If no Dan grades do you have a good amount of experience training in both striking and grappling arts?
✅ Do you practice a style that already has both but has no competitive format available?
✅ Are you tired of changing your clubs rules to enter other events that are too far removed from your ruleset?
✅ Are you tired of the politics and underhand behaviour in martial arts and martial arts competitions?
✅ Would you like to be part of a friendly, supportive network of martial artists all working towards the same goals?
✅ Would you like the freedom to teach your way?
✅ Would you like to be part of an association where financial gain and hierarchy are not the focus?
✅ Would you like guaranteed free seminars and training courses for your students every year?
✅ Would you like guaranteed competitive events every year that are fair, honest and professionally organised with title opportunities in the sports you practice?

Then maybe the UK Shootboxing Association is for you.

If you have the relevant experience and would like to go through the instructor grading we will support you.

If you are passionate and want to fly the flag because you like what we do and want in. We will help you and support you.

You are free to be a member of any and all associations when joining UKSA.
