Train Hard. Fight Smart. Belong to Something Bigger.

At KickboxFit, we’re not just teaching kickboxing — we’re building fighters. Whether you’ve stepped onto the mats once or you’ve competed before, our Fight Squad is where ambition meets elite coaching and relentless development.
We blend technical mastery with real-world sparring, conditioning and competition prep. This isn’t a fitness class with gloves — this is a pathway for people who want real skill, real results, real fights.

The main benefits are:

Reduce stress and Energy boost

You can kick and punch your way to stress free within minutes of this high energy sport. Without a doubt, doing kickboxing regularly will give you an energy boost. There is a real “feel good” factor around kicking and punching punch bags and pads.

Boost confidence levels

When learning a self-defense kickboxing does provide a boost in self-confidence. Some of most world-renowned martial artists started out because they were bullied at school. There is also a real confidence boost when winning your first competitive fight.

Improved coordination

By constantly aiming at targets and using all the major limbs your coordination improves dramatically.

Improves balance

You are regularly standing on one leg and improving core strength. All the while aiming at targets while doing so. There is no doubt that your balance will significantly improve.

Better posture

The core is constantly being engaged and key muscles to improving posture such as your back are being strengthened all the time therefore improving posture. Your core will never have felt as strong.

Burns calories

It is proven that kickboxing and kickboxing routines are one of the highest and fastest calorie-burning exercises due to their dynamic, high-intensity nature.

What the Fight Squad Is

  • Structured, progressive training focused on pad work, combatives, clinch, power striking and fight IQ.
  • A balanced mix of technique sessions, live sparring, strength & conditioning, and tactical drills.
  • Coaching built on experience — our instructors have years of competitive and high-level training under belt.
  • A supportive environment that pushes you, not pressures you.

Why Join

Improve Fast

You’ll be pushed. Not recklessly — but consistently. We build fighters who move confidently, strike accurately, and perform under pressure.

Fight Ready

We prep you for wherever you choose to go — club sparring, local amateur shows, or bigger competitive stages. You’ll learn what to do before, during and after a fight.

Part of a Community

This is where tough training meets solid support. We work hard, but we also have each other’s backs. This crew is more than a class — it’s a culture.

All Levels Welcome

Beginners with ambition? Perfect. Experienced competitors wanting to sharpen up? Even better. The only requirement is commitment — show up and we’ll take care of the rest.

What You’ll Work On

  • Advanced striking combinations
  • Defensive movement and footwork

I am in my mid 40’s and have been attending 3 classes each week for just over a year and i absolutely love it.

What i love about kbf is that it is for all ages, gender groups, it is super friendly and supportive too.

My kids attend too and they love it so much, they say the lessons are fun, sensei’s are friendly and they love their new friends they have made.

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.

I can highly recommend Kickboxfit to both adults and children. Both myself and my son attend classes here and thoroughly enjoy them. All the instructors are friendly, welcoming and encouraging and are extremely supportive in helping you achieve your goals whether it's improving technique or developing your fitness. Plus their new venue is amazing!

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 👍
