What do you teach at Warrior Martial Arts?

We are a Freestyle Kickboxing School dedicated to teaching the dynamic art of Kickboxing, a combat style that has its roots in America while drawing inspiration from Japanese Karate, Muay Thai, and K1 Kickboxing traditions.

Our style is a combination of powerful punches, precise kicks, and agility, focusing on enhancing both physical techniques and strategic timing.

As an esteemed member of WAKO (World Association of Kickboxing Organisations), the premier global authority on Kickboxing, our school adheres to its standards of excellence. We offer a structured grading system for skill progression and boast a competitive team for individuals seeking to push their limits in the sport.

With Kickboxing recently gaining Olympic recognition, there has never been a better time to get involved in this growing sport.

What does a typical lesson involve?

Our classes offer a diverse range of activities tailored to the weekly themes. Throughout our years of experience, we have developed a structured framework that guides the content of each session with a clear focus in mind.

The class begins with a dynamic warm-up focused on bodyweight exercises and cardiovascular drills to prepare the body. Following this, we transition into the heart of the session, featuring activities like bag work, pad drills, sparring exercises, or a mix of these components based on the session's objectives. To wrap up, we conclude with a cooldown phase combined with stretching routines. At times, we integrate elements such as meditation and yoga practice into the class routine for added benefits.

Sparring Classes are focused more towards training for competition, with a mix of drills and rounds to allow students to put what they learn into practice.

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. 

Can I compete with WMA?

Yes, we have an active and competitive team of fighters that take part in regular 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.

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.
