What is Sanda Kickboxing?
Sanda Kickboxing, also known as Sanshou, is a modern combat sport that combines kickboxing with wrestling techniques. This hybrid style includes punches, kicks, takedowns, sweeps, and throws, offering a versatile and practical approach to martial arts.
What makes Sanda unique is its seamless blend of striking and grappling. Practitioners learn to transition smoothly between offensive and defensive moves, creating a well rounded martial artist. Sanda Kickboxing is not only effective for competitive fighting and self-defense but also excellent for improving fitness and coordination.

Community feedback
“Josh and Kitty have been so great to learn under, the club feels more like a family than any other club. I think that’s due to how much effort and passion the instructors put into it. I’ve learned so much and would recommend the club to anyone!”
“I cannot recommend Sanda Kickboxing Academy highly enough. Joshua and Kitty are inspiring and enthusiastic teachers who have moved my Kung Fu, Tai Chi and Sanda forward greatly since I joined the club. They provide a unique blend of technique, practical application and fitness.”
“I love training at Sanda Kickboxing Academy. It is a very friendly and welcoming martial arts club and is founded by two highly knowledgeable instructors. As well as a great workout and improving body mobility, Josh and Kitty break down the movements and teach the practical applications. This for me is the crucial difference between Wushu Fight Academy and a lot of other Kung Fu clubs.
I would highly recommend Sanda Kickboxing Academy if you are looking to understand, develop and train Tai Chi and/or Kung Fu with practical applications.”
