Did you know that ‘Over HALF of all children are bullied’ (GUARDIAN), ‘Bullied children are three times more likely to self harm’ (NHS UK) and some kids can’t cope and don’t get the support they need and it ends up in tragedy with over 900 young people committing suicide last year with bullying being identified as one of the key factors (MANCHESTER UNIVERSITY)

When can I grade?
We are a freestyle kickboxing club and we are part of the WUMA. We grade using their freestyle kickboxing g syllabus. Typically at the gradings are more frequent when you start, once every three months up until green belt then the gaps tend to be longer due to the amount that needs to be taught and the complexity of the syllabus.
Can I compete?
The short answer to this is yes, The longer answer is when Lloyd thinks you are ready. Lloyd is a former two times world kickboxing champion and has year of experience in martial arts. He knows what is needed in order to compete successfully. It takes time and lots and lots of hard work.
