East Leake - PKA Kickboxing

Working our reaction speed at yesterday’s classes 💥

We use these drills to enhance our technique in our routines, but also to introduce sparring style techniques in a safe environment. This allows our juniors to see if they enjoy sparring before stepping into the ring!

Back to school is coming soon! ✏️

As we’re coming up to the new school year, it’s a great opportunity to think about new hobbies for your child.

Whether they’d like to have more focus, meet new friends, or have a space to burn off some stress in a safe environment after school, we’re here for all.

Our classes our split into age groups so each student gets the most out of their training session, and we have coaching team on hand to support and make sure all students excel to their best! ⭐️

🥊 Adults only Kickboxing every Tuesday 🥊

🕣 Every Tuesday, 7:30pm
📍 East Leake Leisure Centre

Our adults kickboxing classes are here to help you add some more fitness into your life, and keep it consistently!

Going to the gym is a good way of getting fit, but it can often be very easy to lose motivation as you’ll do very similar exercises weekly, on your own.

At our Tuesday classes we have different routines weekly which focus on completely different techniques and elements. We also incorporate different aspects such as grading sets and sparring! Not only this, but we offer extra sessions such bonus seminars, catch-up sessions if you’re away from home or can’t make a Tuesday one week so you’ll never be short of kickboxing opportunities 💪

If you’d like to get fit with a group of likeminded individuals, you can book 2 free trials here: https://www.kickboxuk.com/east-leake.html

🥊 Start a new hobby this new academic year! 🥊

The summer holidays are almost over now, so it’s a great time to think about a hobby that brings discipline, friendship, and burns energy 🔥

We have a dedicated junior and teens class so students can work with others their age, have fun and release the school day stress 😌

Our routines are adaptable meaning they work for both beginners and more experienced members, with our aim being to make sure everyone gets the most out of their training session 🥊

Starting a new hobby like kickboxing can sound like a great idea, but the first lesson can be really daunting 😨

You might wonder about the unknown: what do we actually do in a class? Do I need prior experience? What will the people training there be like?

Let’s answer some of those questions!

Our classes follow a structure (that might change slightly from time to time, but generally follow this pattern).

We’ll always start with a stretch and a warmup, then we’ll move onto padwork (or sometimes we’ll do grading sets first) - the majority of the lesson will be working in pairs on a routine broken down into segments. Then sometimes we may do some conditioning work (not loads, we promise!), then we’ll stretch again and you’re all done! ✅

We start and end every lesson with a bow, to show respect to the room and everyone we’re training with 🙏

You don’t need any prior experience, we’ll guide you through everything you need to know. We’re here to train, but also to enjoy ourselves. For many these lessons can be more about just releasing some stress instead of coming down to do the worlds best round kick, we get it 🥊

Friendship building in our junior classes 🤝

One of the great things about our classes is it allows our students to make new friends, spend time with existing ones, or even spend time with other family members!

As our club creates an environment for our students to have fun they can enjoy time with others their age whilst learning new skills 🥊

Optional sparring is back! 💪

Now we have completed our summer grading, we will be giving students the opportunity to take part in optional sparring more often.

We have a tournament coming up in October, so we like to give our students more time to learn what sparring is like, think about how to translate their kickboxing techniques into sparring bouts, and feel confident in the ring! 🥊

If you enjoy sparring in lessons, you can spectate or take part in our Interclub tournament here: https://www.kickboxuk.com/tournament-belper-october-2026.html

Our juniors working hard, even in the very warm weather! ☀️

We take lessons a bit slower, and our coaching team help our students focus more on technique so we can continue kickboxing all summer long 📆

We recognise this routine is super important for our younger students, which is why we’re open all year round!

Some pics from our recent adults classes 🔥

Partners encouraging each other, demonstrating excellent technique, and lots of energy 💪

Fantastic work all for keeping the hard work up, especially with the heat! 🥊
