If you think your child would like to take up kickboxing or learn selfdefence then get in touch with the club to book a free trial session.

The club is open fulltime Monday to Saturday, Chris is available for 1:1s or group personalised training sessions during the day and is also open in the evening offering various activities from kids classes (ages 5-12), adults classes (13+), circuit training, ladies only classes and boxing and kickboxing lessons.
