Welcome to Derbyshire Kickboxing

The first steps are often the hardest to take, but are the most rewarding. At Derbyshire Kickboxing we strive to provide the best instruction around where:

You Will

Practice in a safe and welcoming environment
Be taught by a fully qualified black belt instructor
Learn realistic self defense
Meet like minded people
Have full support and encouragement from the coaching team
Improve flexibility and general fitness

You Will Not

Be put at risk
Be forced to fight (ever!)
Be singled out from the rest of the group
Do the same class twice
Get bored with repetitive exercises
Be made to do anything you are not comfortable with

Providing the best quality kickboxing training for all ages and fitness levels in the Derbyshire area. We recognise everyone’s reasons for starting martial arts vary.

We aim to deliver a wide variety in the classes, improving fitness, self-confidence, flexibility, and realistic self-defence. Most classes concentrate on the non-contact elements of the sport, but exposure to sparring and competitions is available if desired.

Would definitely recommend, my son joined (Alfreton) and eventually talked me into joining, one of the best things I've done, very friendly and great instruction. Why not give it a go

I started kickboxing to get back into some exercise! I wasn't sure at first but once I had a go I knew I needed to do this! I have loved every bit since! I would recommend anyone joining- for exercise - for greats friends and for the great feel of being able to accomplish something!! This is literally for everyone!!!! <3

Fantastic class, great way to keep fit and gain a new skill at the same time. People are great and the instructors really do go the extra mile to make every class filled with material and fun

Since starting kickboxing 2 years ago, my fitness levels have increased hugely, and I've now reached my purple belt. It's a fantastic sport, and there isn't a better club to learn it with than Derbyshire Kickboxing. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming, you feel right at home from your first session. Each week is different from the last, and you recognise the benefits almost instantly.
