About Us
Qualified Instructors
Head Instructor - Mrs Rachel Campion; 4th Degree Black Belt
I started kickboxing in 2003 with PUMA, and fell in love with the sport right from my very first lesson. Four years went by and I received my Black Belt in April 2007.
When I started I was made to feel very welcome and immediately became part of a much loved Martial Art Family.
I learned a great deal of new skills, including self defence, punching, kicking, blocking and sparring. I've made lots of great friends through the years, and kickboxing has helped me feel more confident about myself, made me fitter and allowed me to become an instructor, so I could pass on my wealth of knowledge and experiences of kickboxing to hundreds of students.
I started teaching in 2008 and now run two kickboxing schools in the Southampton area, with an additionl school starting soon, exclusively for 4 - 8 year olds.
If you're looking to try something new, looking to keep fit, looking to learn a modern martial art and looking to make a whole host of new likeminded friends, then kickboxing is for you.
If you wish to come along to a school, then please don't hesitate to get in touch. My students and I will welcome you to the class, and if you're feeling shy or nervous, please feel free to bring a friend or family member.
I promise you'll have made a life changing decision and you wont look back.
I never have, I still enjoy training, continuing to learn and develop my skills whilst teaching and entering competitions as well as attending training camps.
