"My youngest has been going to Kickstart weekly for a few years now and he really enjoys it - first Kickstart Kidz and now the main kickboxing sessions. He has gained confidence, strength and increased fitness and a sense of pride at his achievements and capabilities there.
I ended up joining him as he attends the family class and I was dropping him off and either waiting around or returning to pick him up and one day thought why am I not making the most of my time and trying something new! I am so glad that at the ripe old age of 40, I took the plunge, first time I have done anything like this and hope to continue for as long as I can! I have seen my general fitness and strength improve and confidence in my physical capabilities rise - this body can do! I enjoy the class and the challenge of the gradings.
Can't fault Ollie and Claire in their knowledge, skills and commitment to their students. They are all about family and Kickstart is most definitely an extension of theirs.
Highly recommend!"
"We have been attending Kickstart Kickboxing Club for the past year and a half, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. Previously, we were at another club where belts were given away without much effort, but Kickstart aligns perfectly with our values of focus, technique, and perseverance.
Our 12-year-old son, who is autistic, has thrived here. The entire team at Kickstart has taken the time to work with him, providing the visual aids and small adjustments he needs to master the techniques. Their patience and dedication have made a significant difference in his confidence and skills.
Our 8-year-old also loves the club and has shown remarkable progress. The structured yet supportive environment ensures that both of our children are learning properly and staying motivated.
We highly recommend Kickstart Kickboxing Club to anyone, especially those with diverse children, as the instructors are not only skilled but also trained to work with children with different needs. Children love it. And there a real sense of community. All members are really friendly. And the club is diverse. We look forward to continuing after the half-term break, utilising the club's app communication tools to stay on top of what our children need to practice while we’re away.
Thank you, Kickstart, for your exceptional dedication and support!"
"Excellent, family-friendly dojang and fitness centre. If you or your kids want to learn Kickboxing or Tang Soo Do or just want to work out with an expert trainer, we can't recommend Kickstart enough. They bring real focus and integrity to the martial arts they teach, and a belt awarded at Kickstart is a belt that was genuinely earned."
