Stacy John | "After having my second child I decided to do kickboxing to help me lose the baby weight. I’m not the most confident person and my fitness levels were none existent, and I have always been on the larger side! so I was very nervous about starting kickboxing but I really didn’t need to worry, every one was very friendly and I wasn’t pushed to do anything that I couldn’t actually do, it is really up to you how far you want to push yourself! It’s a lot of fun, each week is different, I love taking out my stress out on the pads! Jo Maguire is a great instructor who gives you very clear instructions and is always there to help. I’ve been there about ten weeks now, I train once a week and I have already got my red belt, I’m more confident now, I have lost weight and I have made friends! I even take my five year old son with me who is also a red belt and he loves it!" |

Malcolm Atherton | "I have now been training with the class at Chilwell for approximately one year having previously trained with another kickboxing group. I did not feel that the other class fulfilled my training needs so I contacted East Midlands Kickboxing and have not looked back since. I can fully recommend East Midlands Kickboxing and the PKA, the instructors are approachable, friendly and professional. The classes are varied, fun and allow you to train and achieve your goals in your own time. I recently took part in my first competition in a very well organised and safe environment for a charity fight night. The classes are also good for keeping fit, helping you gain confidence and you also get to meet very friendly people which helps put you at ease. I would advise anyone to try a class for themselves to see what they can offer you." |
