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

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

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.
