Why did you start kickboxing?

"I have always had an interest in boxing, but it was only recently that I decided to take the leap and actually try it for myself. I had no intention of pursuing it as a sport but I found that my confidence grew with every lesson as I became stronger. I found strength that I didn’t know was growing inside me.  I help others in class. We all help each other out like a family. It brings me joy to see myself now from where I started. I've learnt so much not only from my instructor but other instructors. I’m always seeking for success and more. I also found that kickboxing was the sport for me. I have so much passion for this. This sport builds up so much confidences and respect and body control and self love. I always aspire to be the best and also I can see me doing this for a life time."

What do you enjoy the most in class?

"I find it quite rewarding fighting men as they under estimate me. As a 15 year old girl I like to suprise them with techniques that are not expected."

My favourite technique

"Definitely the spin and hook kick. I tend to catch people by surprise. But it needs to be quick."

What is your goal?

"I have researched a lot of the top kickboxers in Britain and believe that I have the potential and passion to be up there with the rest of them."

What would you recommend about this club?
