"I began my training with the PKA back in 1997, a complete beginner with no prior experience, I was soon hooked. At blue belt level I was invited to attend Instructor training which really helped to boost my confidence. When I achieved my 1st Dan Black Belt I was helped to open new classes in the area, since then I have managed to bring through and train up my own team of instructors, between us we now run a multitude of high quality classes offering others the chance to experience the same as myself. I can honestly say that my time with the PKA has been the most positive and enjoyable period of my life".

"I joined the PKA in 2003 I wanted to try something new, I was bored of aerobics classes and struggled to motivate myself at the gym, I was looking for something a bit more challenging and exciting. After seeing an advertisement for PKA Kickboxing classes in the local paper I decided to give it a try, before long I was training 4 times a week, completely hooked! I attended the instructor development course at purple belt and went on to assist in classes whilst I trained for my black belt. After training hard and passing my black belt I was offered the chance to take over the Bramcote class which was only a small class at the time, with hard work and 4 years of dedication this class now has over 50 students. Shortly after this I opened the Castle Donington and Coalville classes. I now have my own team of instructors and have expanded into new areas. I really enjoy my role as Area Instructor, I aim to provide classes of the highest standard and make sure that everybody whatever fitness levels or experience they may have can enjoy learning this exciting sport, get fit along the way and have fun making new friends".
