Adult students (14 years old and above) can choose to study one or several of our syllabus. Usually a student starts with Kickboxing and adds in other skills that they want to learn as they become more experienced. Adult lessons generally consist of learning new techniques, Padwork, Fitness and Sparring or Grappling. Grading is optional but encouraged.
Junior students traditionally start their training with our Kickboxing syllabus and some low level self defence. The junior syllabus is the same as the adult syllabus but the standards expected are lower. Between the ages of 12-14 years old, depending on ability, they will move on to the adult syllabus. Junior classes consist of learning new techniques, Padwork and Fitness. Grading is optional but encouraged.
Gradings are optional however are encouraged within the club. We operate a progressive grading system for both adults and children. This involves the student being given a grading sheet and each lesson they will be taught techniques from it. Once they are capable of demonstrating a technique with no mistakes it is signed as complete. When a student completes an entire sheet, a grading fee is payable and they are awarded a belt and certificate and move on to their next grading sheet.
Adult Black Belt Gradings are the only grading that is conducted formally where the student will be expected to demonstrate the entire syllabus in front of an assessing instructor.
The Kickboxing syllabus consists of Padwork, Sparring, Fitness and Self Defence Techniques.
Kick-Jitsu is a combination of Kickboxing and Jiu-jitsu. It consists of Kicking, Punching, Knees and Elbows along with throws, armlocks, leglocks and chokes.
The Freestyle Martial Arts syllabus is a combination of Kickboxing, Karate and Jiu Jitsu. It consists of combinations done to the air and to pads as well as throws and locks.
The Self Defence syllabus combines physical self defence techniques with theory training about the law relating to its use. In addition a bullying awareness class for children and parents is also available.
The Freestyle Karate syllabus is a modern take on Karate. It consists of techniques and combinations done to the air and to pads but the requirement to perform lengthy Kata and to learn Japanese terminology has been removed.
Below are the different syllabus we offer. Each is unique and has something different to study. A student may choose to learn whichever style they choose and some elect to train in more than one style at a time.
