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:
- 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
- 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
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.

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.
