Frequently Asked Questions
Before visiting Warrior Martial Arts we wanted you to be well informed about who we are and what we do. If you have any further questions please feel free to Contact Us and one of our team will be happy to help.
What do you teach at Warrior Martial Arts?
Our Martial Arts Style is Freestyle Kickboxing, a combat system that has its roots in America and Japan whilst drawing inspiration from Japanese Karate, Muay Thai, and K1 Kickboxing.
Our style is a combination of powerful punches, precise kicks, and agile footwork. Our focus is on enhancing physical techniques whilst understanding how to apply them with distance and timing.
We are a recognised Kickboxing GB and WAKO (World Association of Kickboxing Organisations) School, the official Olympic body for the sport.
We offer a structured grading system for skill progression and boast a competitive team for individuals seeking test their skills at any level.
We have been teaching in Bromley for over 20 years and some of our Coaches have been in the sport for close to 30.
What does a typical lesson involve?
Our lesson content varies from week to week, depending on the focus of training during that period. But the average class will be broken down into 3 main sections.
Warm Up / Conditioning
Classes will usually start with a body weight warm up and some fitness to help prepare the body and minimise the risk of injury. We also use this time to help develop our members overall conditioning through calisthenics and cardio.
Main Focus
From there we will move into the main focus of that weeks class. The list of training activities includes but isn’t limited to pad-work, bag-work, dutch drills and sparring. Here we will focus on one element of training with a few select drills to help develop a certain area of our game.
Cool Down / Stretch
At the end of class we like to go through some mobility and flexibility work. This is a great way to help the body to cool down after the workout, and an ideal time to work on increasing overall flexibility.
Am I fit enough to start training kickboxing?
Our Martial Arts Classes are suitable for Men, Women and Children. We accept students from the age of 5 up to the age of 65.
Regardless of your fitness level, or if you have any previous martial arts experience we have a class for you. This includes the experienced martial artist looking to expand their knowledge and skills.
Martial Arts training is a great way to get into shape, as well as a host of other benefits to you and your family.
Is Kickboxing safe to practice?
Yes, whilst all contact sports inherently contain some risk, our club has a strong focus on safe practice. Both from an equipment view, but arguably more importantly from a club culture point of view, we focus on developing our members skills, whilst avoiding heavy sparring and other drills that increase the risk of injury.
Can I compete with WMA?
Yes, we have an active and competitive team of fighters that take part in regular Kickboxing GB and WAKO Kickboxing Tournaments both through-out the UK and Internationally. With the club running it’s own internal Club Tournaments for grass-root development, and using our connections to Wolf Pack UK to help develop fighters to whatever stage they want to take it.
I don’t want to compete or spar, can I still train?
Yes, we understand that the competitive side of the sport isn’t for everyone. Our Adult Classes have optional sparring, but if you want to just hit pads, learn the skills and keep fit then this is also supported in classes.
For Kids and Juniors sparring is an essential part of our syllabus, so is included in their training. Our focus is always on safety first. With correct sparring equipment and a focus on technique and skill, rather than power.
Is there a grading system?
Yes, our WAKO recognised grading syllabus allows students to undertake gradings. This is a great way to track your training progress and challenge yourself as you develop new skills.
Gradings are not compulsory, and students are welcome to simply enjoy their training without partaking in them.
Our Kids and Junior classes focus in around our syllabus to help provide structure to their learning, as well as short term and long term goals to keep them engaged in the sport.
Taking gradings can also lead into a future rolls such as Coaching or Assisting in classes, with gradings or competitions. The majority of our Coaches have come up through our Belt System.
