UNIVERSITY OF ESSEX KICK-BOXING CLUB
About the sport and the club:
Kick-boxing is a combat sport that combines western boxing with techniques from Asian martial arts. Therefore, apart from punching it also involves various kicking techniques as well as the use of knee strikes. The kick-boxing club is one of the university’s most popular clubs and attracts lots of students every year.
Training includes work on technique, physical conditioning, and sparring (optional). It is very exciting and safe and you don’t need to have previous experience in order to join. If you want to try something new, want to get fitter, stronger, faster and more flexible or want to compete, then joining the kick-boxing club might be the right option for you.
We strongly encourage new members to join the Kick-Boxing club since we offer many different training courses, which promise newcomers to become familiar and gain fighting experience quickly. Advanced members with previous experience in Kick-Boxing, or other martial arts, can quickly become familiar with the training routines, and they are going to be separated from the rest (beginners). A number of the advanced members are going to be selected to represent the Essex Kick-Boxing Team, to compete against other universities. In 2012, we obtained second place in the UCL (University Combat League) for K-1 Kickboxing and through hard work we hope to achieve first in the next tournament.
