Kids Kickboxing
Kids Kickboxing in Arbroath & Montrose
Kids Korean Kickboxing
Kids Kickboxing classes in Arbroath are available at our full time centre, & we also have Kids Kickboxing classes in Montrose at Montrose Sports Centre. The form of Korean Kickboxing we teach is authentic 'Kyuk Too Ki' which is the true Korean Kickboxing system. It is an exciting combat sport that includes kicks, punches, strikes & throws. The form we teach to children is a safe non-contact syllabus non-contact meaning that the students don't actually hit each other during sparring but stop the technique just before it makes contact. Physical & Mental fitness is an important part of our Kickboxing training, & we give our juniors a great workout that is great fun, but challenges them at the same time.
Childrens Martial Arts in Arbroath & Montrose
Our Kids Kickboxing programme is run as an after-school class, so it is perfect for children who are very busy & have a lot of other pastimes, many of which run later in the evening. Some children who are involved in many different clubs & hobbies can find that they can't devote enough time to learning a traditional martial art like TaeKwon-Do, but that Kickboxing is perfect for them because it doesn't have set forms (called 'patterns' in TaeKwon-Do or 'Kata' in Karate) that require some extra practice in their own time.
As with all our Childrens classes we emphasise positive life-skills; as our goal is to build positive, respectful, confident people. We also equip them with anti bullying & personal safety skills.
Fit & Confident Children
Many children find conventional sports boring or just don't enjoy them, so often something a little 'different' like Kickboxing will appeal to them. The Kids Kickboxing class gives them absolutely top class fitness training that is geared towards their stage of development, & takes care of their growing bodies. We don't do exercises that damage their bodies- for instance if you see a juniors class doing 'forced stretching' (stretching exercises where a partner pulls or pushes you into a stretch) run a mile, as young muscles & connective tissues are still soft & stretching like this can cause permanent damage! All our training methods are safe & non-damaging; your child needs their body to last the rest of their life.
A very important part of fitness training for us is 'mental fitness'. We think is is just as important as physical fitness. Our training will stimulate their mind, making them more aware, able to react faster & think more quickly. We like to think that your child will hopefully never need to use their self defence skills, but the other skills we give them will get used in almost everything that they do & help them to excel in life.

Buyer Beware- a sad but necessary notice to parents!
Its a sad fact that in the Martial Arts in the UK there are people springing up teaching who really shouldn't be. Almost every trade has cowboys & charlatans, & unfortunately Martial Arts are not immune.
Parents unfortunately very often just put their children to whichever class their child hands them a flyer for, or even to the 'cheapest' class. We all want the best for our children, so shouldn't we look a bit further into the pastime we're looking to put our children into?
Here where we are based for example, we have seen a class start up in a local hall in Arbroath that is being taught by someone who has never even actually trained honestly up to Blackbelt in ANY martial art! He did a 'bootcamp' with an organisation run by one of the UK's 'McDojo' artists! This organisation will turn almost anyone into an instructor if they pay the money to do their course EVEN IF THEY DON'T HAVE A MARTIAL ARTS GRADE! This person is grading his own students, even though he's not even really even a Blackbelt!
We have even seen posters advertising classes with a 'Grandmaster Ninja'. The classes are for adults & children, & are being run OUT OF HIS HOME! The worrying thing here is that the main Ninjutsu organisations in the UK have NEVER heard of this person, so this is VERY worrying!
Are these the types of people you want teaching your child skills that they might have to call upon to protect themselves with when their safety is in danger?
There are MANY great instructors in Angus who have 'done their time' & taken the long road to Blackbelt! Do yourself a favour & ask questions not just about your instructors rank, but also about their background, qualifications & experience. How long have they been training? What grade are they? Who was THEIR instructor & where? How long have they trained with them?
Mark Davies is one of the UK's most widely qualified & experienced instructors. He is a WORLD RENOWNED self defence specialist who's methods are trusted by elite military units. He holds Blackbelts in EIGHT different Martial Arts, & has 30 years of experience. He has trained under the worlds BEST masters & instructors, & has been teaching Martial Arts in Angus since 1987! We absolutely GUARANTEE that we will give you or your child THE BEST & MOST EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONAL INSTRUCTION available!
With almost anything else that you would buy that is important & a significant investment, you would do your homework first, please apply a bit of time & research here as well.
