The Foundation Martial Arts Programme has been designed to create a solid base of understanding, knowledge, physical fitness, and some core techniques that can be extremely effective (even on their own).

The methods taught are also expanded on in later programmes to give students a richer understanding of better execution as well as adding additional aspects which compliment previous lessons. All the modules in this Martial Arts programme cover some core basic “must haves” such as club etiquette, and how to use the various pieces of equipment safely for all our students.

The Martial Arts programme also introduces all the various stances used in our martial art which is crucial for any martial artist. The programme also includes almost all the Hand and Foot (offensive and defensive) techniques.

Foundation Classes

Advanced Martial Arts Programme

The Advanced Martial Arts Programme reinforces all the modules in the foundation Martial Arts programme as well as teaching new modules.

These new modules must be repeated at least twice within the programme in order to progress to the Senior Martial Arts Programme. This ensures that students have been given sufficient time to be able to practice and execute the techniques to the level required before progressing to the Senior Martial Arts Programme.

The programme has been deliberately designed rotating the modules allowing students to practice and gain knowledge through reflective learning with other cohorts as they progress through the Programme. The modules in this programme contain some advanced and highly effective elbow techniques.

This programme mainly focusses on building technical competence throughout all the techniques shown. This is achieved through the use of efficient and effective combinations that demonstrate how to transition from one technique to the next. Through this series of combinations, the students learn how to not only execute the predetermined combinations but allow them to create their own.

On completion of this programme students will be able to actively move (evading and attacking) transitioning effectively between techniques.​

Senior Martial Arts Programme

The Senior Martial Arts programme is where all aspects of previous learning are consolidated.

This programme will demonstrate not only how to combine our techniques (Advanced Martial Arts Programme) but also how the students are able to counter and even to some degree anticipate them. The students are taught a series of fast and effective techniques that are designed to enable them to defend and counter against a number of attacks. As well as this the students are also taught a highly effective series of self-defence techniques.

These techniques are highly advanced and extremely effective when executed correctly. This Martial Arts programme contains a series of counter-move combinations that can be executed in their own right but also to teach students how to string combinations together whilst moving in order to both attack and counter-attack an opponent.

Teaching Concepts

Everyone works at their own ability and pace, so progression is a personal journey. We hope with our full support and your consistent dedication, you can achieve your black belt within 4 years and then progress into our Dan class.

Life Skills Taught

Training in kickboxing allows you develop essential life skills.

Through kickboxing, you will have the opportunity to develop confidence and build self-esteem in a positive and friendly atmosphere. Kickboxing can help train your mind and body, helping you to remain focused, maintain attention and help you stay alert.

Training alongside other students, will help develop your social skills and as you progress through the belts, develop leadership skills as you learn to train other students yourself. As you grow in confidence (at your own pace) you will soon find yourself participating in general discussions, sharing ideas and for some you may even wish to take a class of your own.

Health Benefits

Kickboxing has many health benefits including general fitness, mental health, and wellbeing.

Hectic daily routines which may cause stress and anxiety can be helped with training in kickboxing. The cardiovascular exercise and breathing techniques used can help reduce stress levels especially when the feel-good hormone dopamine is released. Having self-control is a big part of kickboxing and can help people let go of any feelings of anger and negative thoughts.

Kickboxing is a fantastic way of helping you get fit and improves cardiovascular health, building endurance and can also help with weight loss in line with a calorie controlled diet.

Flexibility can also help with blood flow to muscles. Having better flexibility has also been linked to a lower risk of cardiovascular disease. So with the chances of increasing a healthier heart, better mental wellbeing and feeling fitter, Kickboxing is a fun and progressive way to a healthier lifestyle.

What’s Included

We have no gimmicks at Leading Martial Arts. We openly share all of the fees and costs associated with Kickboxing. We have even structured some of our syllabus to ensure that payment for the various pieces of equipment you will need is staggered to help with costs.

We offer a significant reduction in fees for families training together. We do this because we know that training as a family not only increases the fun but also keeps you motivated. We know this because that’s what we did too. Not to mention a little bit of healthy competition along the way (Parents vs Kids).

My son has been going now for about 8 weeks. From day 1 the way the guys run things and the way they make new people starting is amazing.They are really passionate and patient about what they do and how they do it.I honestly couldn't recommend them more and would urge anyone looking for something for their kid to do or even themselves to give it a go.

Very professional, personal and family orientated sport group. My son is 5 and loves going; he is provided discipline and focus, but most importantly fun, laughter and friendship. The free trial was very appealing, and there was no pressure from anybody to continue coming along. The communication is excellent, and Heidi and Mike are very accommodating. The flexibility for attending sessions is great, so if you cannot attend your usual lesson, you can attend an alternative day so your money is not wasted. The atmosphere is always fantastic and as a family, we cannot recommend Leading Martial Arts enough.
