Questions and Answers
Is Freestyle Kickboxing Mainly A Male Sport
perhaps originally; but now the female to male ratio is becoming more even.
Can I Do Belts .. Like Karate ?
YES .. we operate a belt grading system which goes as following :- White, Yellow, Orange, Green, Blue, Purple, Brown, Red/Black, Black, 1st Degree, 2nd Degree, 3rd Degree
How Long Does It Take To Become A Black Belt ?
This can depend on many things including your ability and amount of training you do. However; it takes approximately 4.5 years to 7 years.
Do I Have To Spar ?
NO !!
Sparring is very beneficial but is an optional activity for Beginners.
A lot of people have no wish to spar and simply want to improve fitness and self-defence. After developing self-defence through training, some people may want to try sparring later on.
Is The Sparring Full Contact And In A Ring ?
NO !!!!! We NEVER do Full-Contact or fight in a boxing ring ! We teach Points/ Semi-Contact and Light-Continuous ONLY.
POINTS/ SEMI-CONTACT SPARRING .. is when a controlled strike is landed on your target and the fight is stopped and a point is awarded, then the fight is started again. The winner is the fighter with the most scored points after an allocated time. You need to teach your arms and feet to move very fast and only half the touch.
LIGHT-CONTINUOUS SPARRING .. This is continuous point scoring. The fight is not stopped when points are scored on contact. All the points are added up as going along,
Am I Too Old To Start ?
NO !!
Our Freestyle class is available to all 7years and over. You train at your own level and try to improve yours each week. People of different ages may have different goals and desires but everyone will defiantly improve your mental and physical state that you started with.
Some people believe that they need to get fit before starting ! and these are the people that never join !
FREESTYLE KICKBOXING is a sport that concentrates on speed and not power !!!
