Krav Maga Edinburgh’s kickboxing classes are designed to
develop speed, flexibility, power and co-ordination

Kickboxing Kicking Pads

What is it?
Kickboxing is a martial art combining western-style boxing with kicks, knees and elbows. An excellent class for developing conditioning, speed, flexibility, power and co-ordination. A great way to get fit quickly and in a fun way. You can burn a huge amount of calories while striking the pads and working through various fun partner drills. It’s very easy to pick up the basics and from there we will start to develop combinations of strikes on the pads and punch bags. We will look at footwork and evasion in an easy to learn and fun way.

Who is it for ?
This class is suitable for anyone aged 16 years or over. You don’t need to be an athlete to get started, nor do you need to perform high kicks. We can work all our kicks on low targets from the knee down. The material will be tailored for each individual in the class. Whether you want to sharpen up your technical skills or lose weight, this class is for you.

What will I learn ?
In the class you will learn how to operate at long range (kicking), medium range (punching) and close range (knees and elbows). We work on the punch bag and pads to develop our speed and timing. We also work the heavy bags to develop power. The class combines solo drills such as working on the punch bags or working partner drills on the focus pads. This is an upbeat, fun class and is designed to provide an excellent workout while developing practical skills.

Testimonials

I have never really been a fan of the gym, the most exercise I was used to was walking around the shops on a Saturday. I had just moved to the area and had wanted to try something new. Having never done any combat sport or fitness before I decided to give the women’s kickboxing a go.

The class itself is split into fitness, conditioning and technique. So not only are you getting a first rate workout you are learning skills that will be of benefit to you in your everyday life. The Combat Ready Gym focus on reality based situations, so everything you are taught is something that can be adapted to real life scenarios.

Marcus and Mike (the instructors) really know their stuff and have an excellent ability of being able to break things down to a speed and level that suits everyone in the class. They are friendly and approachable and want to help you get the most out of your time in the gym.

It didn’t take me long to make friends with the other members of the class as everyone is extremely friendly and all remember what it was on their first night. So if you don’t have a partner to come along with, don’t let that stop you, they don’t bite!

I would also recommend the mixed Kickboxing class. If you are normally put off mixed classes by the thought of big guys showing off then don‘t worry, this isn’t an issue at Combat Ready. There are no egos, people don’t come here to show off, they come to work hard and get results.

Six months down the line I have gone from one class a week to four. You will find yourself wanting to try the different classes on offer and I would certainly recommend it for a varied workout that delivers results.
