Medal Winners and Officials

Interested in the Martial Arts but could never find the time?
Like the benefits of Aerobics?
Then Fitness Kickboxing Circuits are the answer.

Fitness Kickboxing Circuits are a great way to get in shape, stay in shape, or just plain have fun. There is no contact or sparring between participants: It is strictly you against yourself.  This is also a great way to meet new people and just get out of the house for a while, or alleviate yourself of excess stress. Everyone works at his/her own pace and what you get out of it is what you put into it!

The class consists of a 60 minute workout which starts with a basic warm-up. Techniques will then be demonstrated by the Instructor and you will then practice them on the focus pads..  The training is mainly circuit based with interval training and all classes will include strength, abdominal exercises and stretching.  

In this class you will work hard, sweat loads, kick and punch pads and increase your fitness.  You can either attend this on its own or use it to supplement your Taekwon-Do training, through extra technique practice and increased fitness. 

No experience is necessary and classes are open to both male and females who are over the age of 16 .

What can Fitness Kickboxing Circuits do for me?

- Fat Loss!
- Flatter/tighter Abs!
- Firmer butt and thighs!
- Toned and stronger arms and legs!
- Increased strength and endurance!
- Stress Relief!
- Increased Self Confidence!
- Increase Flexibility and better blood circulation!
