Korean Kickboxing belongs to the organisation known as Korean Martial Arts (KMA). Within the organisation there are 3 associations: Korean Kickboxing Association of Wales (KKAW), Korean Kickboxing Association of England (KKAE) and Korean Kickboxing Association of Netherlands (KKAN). KMA is one of the best Martial Clubs in the World that has produced numerous world champions and excellent kickboxers.
Both Taunton cougars (Adults) and Raptors (children), taught by Mr. Mark Monk, belong to the KKAE and have been running since 2003. The club follows the KMA syllabus that students must follow in order to progress as kickboxers. Students may train with the club for whatever reason they choose, whether they want to grade to black belts, compete or just keep fit and have fun. |

Gradings: Those wishing to grade must follow and learn the KMA syllabus that includes many kicking and punching routines/combinations, patterns, weapons training and Korean theory. Gradings are held 3 or 4 times a year and are assesed by a Master of Korean Kickboxing. The Instructors are continually adding routines and training exercises to the lessons and syllabus that enable the students to get the most out of kickboxing. Each student will also be assesed on fitness, speed, power, footwork and movement, technique and dedication.
Competing: The KMA organisation regulary attends national and international competitions as well as hosting tournamnets throughout South Wales. Students can compete in a variety of styles including points, light continuous, low kick kickboxing and full contact. Lessons include light sparring to help students prepare for competitions or for those that just enjoy sparring.

Fitness/keep fit:
Kickboxing is an excellent way to keep fit, lose weight and stay toned. Students who do not wish to grade or compete can train just for the fitness aspects that also allow you to become competent kickboxers and have fun whilst doing so. The instructor also understands that not everyone wishes spar in lessons. Due to this, students may opt out of sparring and participate in one of the following instead: kickboxing drills/fitness routines, weapons training or patterns.
The club hosts a range of students from complete beginners to black belts and boasts a high standard of training meaning that the students will receive the best kickboxing training around. Lessons are suitable for men, women, boys and girls of all ages regardless of Martial Arts experience or sporting ability. Feel free to visit the club or contact the Instructor with any questions.
