Kick Start Health & Fitness was established in 2012, and is owned and run by Claire & Ollie King
"When we first started teaching martial arts 20 years ago we hired church halls but always dreamt of having our own full time centre. In 2012 that dream became a reality and we moved to our full time centre in Hanham, Bristol. For 5 weeks we worked, taught classes at the church halls and then renovated the unit. We worked long hours and with the help and encouragement from our students and family the academy was born. We opened the doors on 4th April 2012 and still continue to improve the academy to give our members the best experience possible.
The academy is our first and second home and we love the fact that our members are like family and when new members come through the doors they feel it too. We look forward to helping you on your health & fitness journey"

Claire began her martial arts journey in 1990 at the age of 12, motivated by experiences of bullying in secondary school. She initially trained in the World Taekwondo Federation before transitioning to Tang Soo Do and later kickboxing. Claire achieved her 1st Dan in Tang Soo Do in 2004 and in kickboxing in 2007.
In 2021, she proudly earned her 4th Dan in both styles, dedicating much of her time to the development of her students. With extensive experience in education, Claire has worked with children with additional needs, incorporating her knowledge and expertise into the academy to create an inclusive and supportive environment for all.
