Children’s classes at KBF Academy.

Our kickboxing classes for children aged 7-11 are carefully crafted to nurture both their physical and mental growth. Each session combines high-energy exercises, such as cardio drills, strength training, and agility exercises, with focused techniques that build coordination, flexibility, and overall fitness. Beyond the physical benefits, children also develop critical mental skills, learning to set personal goals and maintain focus even when faced with challenges. This dual approach ensures that they not only become stronger and more active but also build a resilient mindset that will serve them well in all aspects of life.

Comprehensive Curriculum with Belt Progression

Our structured kickboxing program follows a WAKO-endorsed curriculum, guiding children through a clear and motivating belt system. Each belt level introduces progressively challenging techniques, from basic stances and strikes to more advanced combinations and defensive maneuvers. As they move through the ranks, children experience a sense of achievement and pride in their progress. This structured learning path not only teaches the fundamentals of kickboxing but also instills a strong work ethic, teaching them the value of perseverance and the satisfaction of reaching personal milestones.

Promoting Teamwork and Social Skills

While kickboxing is typically an individual sport, our classes emphasize the importance of working together and supporting peers. Through partner drills, group challenges, and team-based activities, children learn to communicate effectively and build trust with their classmates. This collaborative environment fosters a sense of community and belonging, helping children develop essential social skills such as cooperation, empathy, and sportsmanship. These experiences are invaluable for building confidence in social settings and teaching children how to be supportive teammates both in and out of the gym.

Inclusive and Supportive Environment

At Kick Box Fit, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to shine. Our instructors are dedicated to creating an atmosphere where each student feels safe, encouraged, and motivated, regardless of their starting skill level. We provide personalized guidance to help each child reach their full potential, offering additional support to those who may need it and more challenging activities for advanced students. This inclusive approach ensures that every child can progress at their own pace, build self-esteem, and gain a sense of belonging within our kickboxing community.

Empowering Kids with Essential Life Skills

Our classes go beyond teaching kickboxing techniques; they are designed to impart valuable life skills that children can carry with them into adulthood. Through consistent practice, students learn the importance of respect—for themselves, their peers, and their instructors. They also develop self-discipline by adhering to class rules and routines and learn perseverance as they push through challenges and setbacks. These qualities are not only crucial for success in martial arts but also lay a strong foundation for personal development, helping children grow into confident, respectful, and resilient individuals.

Brilliant KB club - both my boys look forward to their weekly classes (unlike swimming lessons) and have seen really great development in terms of their skills and confidence in a fairly short time of attending (approx 3months). Coaches are supportive and positive and it's a really good environment for all abilities and confidence levels.

My son and daughter (age 8 and 10) go to Kickbox Fit and they both love it. This is a really great club. Very friendly with a number of expert instructors who do a fantastic job of teaching the kids while making the sessions fun. Highly recommend KBF to any parent with children who want to learn kickboxing or any kind of self defence.

My little boy loves it there, all of the coaches and instructors are really helpful and doing really good job! We have tried many different clubs but this one they really focus on children and their abilities helping them to develop their skills! My little one also loves the way they are practicing as it is not repetitive and coaches really have something new to teach them!

KBF is a fantastic community based club, the whole team are friendly and make you feel part of the KBF family in no time at all, it’s a no pressure club and you don’t feel like you’ve got your hand in your pocket all the time paying for every move you make, very good prices and you learn everything in class you need to belt grade without added on seminars at extra cost like the previous club my son attended, the instructors are very tactful and don’t just tell every student how amazing they are just to keep them attending, they always give constructive criticism in the right ways and have massively improved my son’s ability, highly recommend KBF, your kids will get great results from KBF the more efforts they put themselves 👍
