Kickboxing
Kickboxing is a martial art that primarily uses punches, kicks, and throws. We are a friendly society that welcomes everyone, from the complete beginner to people reaching for competition standards, and we have professional instructors to cater for this. Please visit our Facebook page for more information: https://www.facebook.com/groups/sukickboxing Or send us a message on instagram @sukickboxing !
Kickboxing is a hand to hand self-defence combat sport that combines punches, kicks and throws. Unlike Muay Thai, elbows and knees are not used in sparring which reduces the risk of injury. We offer a friendly, informal training environment taught by professional instructors over multiple sessions a week. The sessions each have a different focus so you can train as casually or as intensely as you want to!
Sessions:
Monday 20:00-21:30 in the Cube, SUSU building - a casual session, ideal for beginners and improving comprehensive kickboxing skills.
Tuesday 17:00-18:30 in the Martial Arts room, SUSU building - a committee led session for improving grading preparation and sparring practice.
Thursdays 18:00-19:30 in the Activities room, SUSU building - a more technical session, perfect for working on technique and sparring tactics.
Saturdays 11:00 - 13:00 in the Martial Arts room, SUSU building - an energetic session, focused on fitness and cementing skills.
We also hope to hold opportunities for competing for those who wish to train competitively; please contact us if interested!
Some other perks include:
- Cheap membership
- Beginner to competitor standard
- Better agility
- Faster response time
- Better hand-eye coordination
- Improve strength - harder abs!
- More powerful kicks, punches and throws
- Better social life
We are a wholly inclusive society, and proudly welcome all students who wish to practice this martial art.
Come and join us! SUK love xx
(NOTE: You will need a sports pass to attend any sessions in the MA room - Saturday and Tuesday sessions. Therefore, if you only want to attend Monday and Thursday sessions (never in MA room), you will not need a sports pass!)
