Kickboxing

Kickboxing is a martial art involving punches, kicks, footwork and combinations. During training, we use pads, punching bags and controlled partner drills, amongst other things. You can train for the sake of learning, physical activity and socialising without having to fight or compete.

The class is for ages 14 and over. You don’t need any previous experience and will start in the beginners’ class, where basic stances, movements, punches, kicks and simple combinations are taught step by step.

Mistakes are part of the training process. You’ll get to try out techniques that may be difficult at first, make use of the guidance you’re given, make adjustments and try again. The aim is to improve over time – not to get everything right at the first attempt.

No. You build up your fitness gradually through training. You work at your own level and take breaks when necessary.

No. You can practise kickboxing for the sake of learning, keeping fit and socialising, without competing.

No. Contact training is introduced in a controlled manner and tailored to your level and experience. Please let the instructor know if you are unsure or do not wish to spar.

Wear normal workout clothes without zips, metal or sharp details. You’ll be exercising barefoot. Bring a water bottle and a bag for your clothes and belongings.

Not during the trial period. You can borrow the necessary equipment. Once you’ve signed up, the instructor will help you choose the right size and equipment. Don’t buy any equipment at random before you know what the group uses.

As your training progresses, you’ll use boxing gloves and other protective equipment suited to the exercises. The need for this equipment increases gradually. The instructor will clearly let you know what you need and when you need it.

No. You can train without taking a grading. For those who wish to do so, the belts provide clear milestones. Attendance, skills and registration by the deadline are all taken into account in the assessment.

Please arrive 10–15 minutes before the class so that you have time to get changed and be ready. If you arrive after the class has started, you’ll have to wait until the next session.

Tell the instructor about your injury before the class. Some adjustments can be made, but you must follow the advice given to you by a doctor or other healthcare professional. In the event of an acute injury or pain, you should not push yourself through the session.

Wear clean sportswear, keep your nails short and remove any jewellery, watches and piercings that could cause injury to yourself or others. Do not exercise if you have a fever, a contagious illness, contagious skin conditions or open wounds.

No. We train barefoot on the mat. Please wear slippers or other clean footwear when going to and from the changing room and to the toilet. Outdoor shoes must be left on the shoe rack.

Adults book their session in Membro before training and confirm their attendance when they arrive. Attendance cannot be registered retrospectively. Correct registration is important for keeping track of attendance and for any grading.
