DemonS Kickboxing

Kickboxing is an increasingly popular sport which has evolved from a number of different martial arts styles. Despite its obvious links with boxing and full-contact combat, this really is a sport for all; from men and women to children and those of you who are unfit to the more athletic or experienced.

All ages are welcome. For children aged 6 to 13 we specifically hold Little Demons classes. These are held separately to the adult classes.

At Demons Kickboxing, while learning the skills and techniques of kickboxing, you will discover a wider set of benefits including increased fitness levels, more confidence, self-belief, discipline and, of course, fun.

Our students come from all walks of life and their motivation for joining is varied. Some come to learn techniques that will help with self defence, others come for the fitness and social side of things. It’s also a great form of stress relief after a hard day.

Typical classes incorporate stretching, drilling, speed work, bag work and sparring. This will build fitness and develop skill while encouraging increased confidence.

We all need goals in life to keep us motivated and at Demons it’s no different. Whatever your reason for joining - whether it be general fitness or a passion to learn kickboxing techniques - you will also have the opportunity to take part in gradings. This will be a chance to put the skills you have learnt to the test and have your hard work recognised. Students can choose to progress in the direction that’s best for them, choosing if and when to grade.

At Demons, we hold gradings every three to four months and our sessions will help to build students up, working towards these gradings. When you successfully complete a grading you will receive a certificate and your belt. This is a great way to monitor your progress and see real achievements.

Membership, licences and equipment

Becoming a member of the club is easy. Just complete a membership and licence form which will be given to you once you have attended four training sessions. This gives you time to settle in, to see if kickboxing is for you and whether you want to join the club. On completion of these forms you will become an official member of Demons Kickboxing Club.

Membership is free and the annual licence is ?15 for Little Demons and ?16 for adults.

Licences are an extremely important part of any martial art. All students must have one as they are a form of insurance against injury.

With a sport like kickboxing it’s important that you have protective-wear which is designed for the type of full contact you’ll experience in the sessions. This as well as uniforms, pads and gloves can all be bought from your instructor. Although these can be bought in your own time, you will not be allowed to take part in a grading without full uniform.

History

Demons Kickboxing formed in 2004, with 52 students, 10 sets of pads and 10 sets of gloves. Needless to say, we’ve come a long way since then. We now run kickboxing sessions (see details) at Mote Park Leisure Centre three times a week and have invested in lots more equipment so that our students have the opportunity to really get to grips with the sport in a safe, controlled environment. Our students range from complete beginners to those with more senior belts, men and women across all ages – everyone is made to feel welcome.
