Here are some of the questions we get asked from time to time...
What is Kickboxing?
Kickboxing is one of the most popular martial arts.
Our particular style is a blend of karate, oriental kicking, western boxing and self-defence techniques. Zen-Do classes give both a great aerobic and anaerobic workout and will also develop speed, flexibility, strength and co-ordination.
What happens in a class?
Classes last one hour and begin with a full body stretch. Once properly warmed up students are taught basic punches and kicks and then combinations.
Attack and defence techniques are then practiced with a partner and this is followed by shadow kickboxing.
Will I get hurt?
We maintain the highest standards of safety in our classes, so it is unlikely you will suffer an injury.
Our classes are non-contact so there is very little risk of getting hurt - however, as with all types of physical training, there is a small chance of a minor injury occuring.
Separate classes are available for those who wish to spar and make light contact.
