Children’s Kickboxing Classes
What is Sanda Kickboxing
Sanda is a martial art that uses techniques found in traditional Kung Fu and combines them with the striking found in kickboxing. In some ways Sanda Kickboxing is an extension of Chinese martial arts, a ‘modern’ Kung Fu. It’s a kickboxing style where only the practical and combative elements of Kung Fu are used.
What will your children learn in class
In our children’s kickboxing classes we offer a comprehensive curriculum that focuses on various aspects of martial arts training. Each session begins with a warm-up, which includes stretching exercises and cardiovascular activities to prepare the body for throws and strikes in kickboxing. Children then learn the fundamental movements of kickboxing, including stances, strikes, kicks, and throws. These basic techniques serve as the building blocks for more advanced skills.
As Children progress, they are taught how to apply these movements in partner drills, where they learn coordination, timing, and control. Additionally, sparring sessions are incorporated to provide a practical application of their skills, enabling them to develop speed, agility, and strategy. We do not allow strikes to the head with children.
Apart from the physical aspect, our classes foster a supportive community where children can develop discipline, respect, and self-confidence. Our experienced instructors provide a core framework of knowledge and adapt our teaching to accommodate students of all fitness levels, ensuring that each child can progress at their own pace while enjoying the benefits of kickboxing.
What are the benefits of learning Kickboxing
There are many potential benefits training in kickboxing can offer to children. Children will be both mentally and physically challenged as they learn the complex movements of kickboxing, increasing coordination and overall physical health. There is also evidence that doing challenging physical exercises such as kickboxing can help with cognitive development as your children grow.
Children will also need to learn to work with other as kickboxing requires the techniques to be practiced with a partner. This means that children will need to learn how to problem solve with other children of different ages and sizes as well as be able to perform techniques safely and learn to perform throws and strikes with control and discipline.
