Discipline, Respect & Commitment

At Astons Kickboxing Academy, we believe discipline starts at home and is reinforced through everything we do in the academy.
As parents, there are many things we ask our children to do that they don’t always want to do. Whether it’s brushing their teeth, completing homework, helping around the house, or attending training, children need guidance, structure, and clear expectations.
One of the most important lessons a child can learn is that success isn’t built on doing things when you feel like it—it’s built on doing what needs to be done, even when you don’t.

Building Respect for Life

Our mission goes far beyond teaching martial arts. We aim to help young people develop respect for:

  • Their parents
  • Their coaches
  • Their teammates
  • Their community
  • Themselves

We believe respect and discipline should run through our entire academy. By creating a positive culture with high standards, we help children become more confident, responsible, and successful both on and off the mats.

Why We Have a 6-Month Commitment


We require a minimum 6-month membership because meaningful results take time.This isn’t about locking families into a contract. It’s about giving every student the best opportunity to succeed.Confidence, discipline, fitness, focus, and resilience are not developed in a few weeks. They are built through consistency, repetition, and commitment.Just as we ask our students to commit to their training, we commit ourselves to helping them achieve their goals.

The 6-month commitment allows us to:

  • Build positive habits
  • Develop discipline and consistency
  • Track meaningful progress
  • Help students overcome challenges
  • Achieve long-term results
Many children want to quit when things become difficult. One of the greatest lessons martial arts teaches is perseverance. By encouraging students to stay committed, we help them discover what they are truly capable of achieving.


Our Promise


When you join Astons Kickboxing Academy, you’re joining more than a martial arts school.You’re joining a community that believes in discipline, respect, commitment, and personal growth.We will support, challenge, and encourage every student to become the very best version of themselves.Because success isn’t built on motivation alone.It’s built on discipline, consistency, and commitment.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Most leave with far more than they expected.
Some join to build confidence. Some for fitness. Some to learn discipline, focus, or self-defence.

What they gain often goes far beyond that.
Children grow in confidence, resilience, and belief in themselves.
Adults become fitter, stronger, and more self-assured — on and off the mat.

Here, progress is earned. Effort is recognised & no one trains alone.
More Than Just Kickboxing
At Astons Kickboxing Academy, we don’t just teach techniques — we help students build habits that last.


Our training develops:

  • Confidence under pressure

  • Discipline and focus

  • Resilience when things get tough

  • Pride in earned achievements

Belts and gradings mark progress, but the real wins show up in everyday life — at school, at work, and in how our students carry themselves.

Why We Are Different
Progress for Everyone

We don’t just train competitors — we train people. Every student follows a clear journey, supported at every stage of their development.

Confidence Comes First

Technique matters, but confidence changes lives. Our coaching helps students stay calm, focused and self-assured in and out of the academy.

A True Winning Mindset

Winning isn’t just about medals. It’s about effort, resilience, and learning to keep going when things feel hard.

A Family, Not Just a Gym

Students are known by name. Parents feel reassured. From day one, you’re part of the team.

 We were struggling at home with Theo and his anger so we joined him up with Chris, since joining Theo has changed into a different child. Chris is an amazing teacher and understands Theo’s needs with his speech delay but Theo has gone from strength to strength and already got his orange belt. I can’t recommend Chris enough for what he has done for Theo and his confidence and learning how to control his anger. I would recommend Chris academy to anyone , Theo absolutely loves going to Chris lessons

 Aston’s kickboxing is absolutely fantastic the team are brilliant and so encouraging. My little boy was always shy and doubted himself however since joining he has become so much more confident and outgoing. He looks forward to his lessons each week and has been truly inspired by Chris and his achievements to want to achieve things in his future. Each week we can see his skills developing and his determination growing. Thank you everyone at Aston’s kickboxing academy!

 Chris is absolutely fantastic with the children. My girls look forward to their classes every week and have learnt so much already. Great fun and great exercise. Highly recommend 😊

 Our son has only just started, but it's the most optimistic we've ever felt about a sports class for him. The kids classes are group sessions but not overcrowded and he seems to be enjoying them a lot so far. We've tried quite a few over the last two years around Shrewsbury and this is the first one that seems to have clicked for him right from start.

 My daughter has wanted to start some form of martial arts for ages, and I need to get fitter, we are both Neurodiverse and often struggle starting new activities. Aston's was highly recommended locally and the adult classes start from 13 up so I can train alongside my daughter. I used the website contact form and Chris called me soon after. I mentioned our ADHD/Autism and he recommended we attend one of the quieter, less busy sessions. This demonstrated an understanding of neurodiversity and its challenges and made me feel supported before I'd even joined! We signed up for the 'Pads and Bags' sessions and the 'Adult Kickboxing' classes, the joining fees were reasonable and we got our own gloves included. We get a joint membership discount which works out at about £10.00 each a week, for this we can attend as many of the 'Pads and Bags' sessions as we like, I think they run 3 or 4 days week and we can attend the adult kickboxing classes too, so the fees are great value and we get the flexibility of being able to move days if we need. There is a one month rolling membership which is great for beginners, we also got several free taster sessions to start with! At the 'Pads and Bags' sessions Ben runs a series of 60 second drills for everyone while moving around providing 1 on 1 advice and tuition. It's hard work but lots of fun, we really enjoy attending. The music could include a bit more 90's grunge & metal, but I'm going to need to learn a LOT more fighting skills before I try to steal the remote and replace a couple of kickboxing black belts as academy DJ! I am a total fitness/fighting novice with physical health issues and like kicking less than Balrog from Streetfighter 2 so Ben suggests alternative methods or techniques and adapts the drills for me (whilst being too young to understand my retro gaming references!) There is a genuine personalised approach, with members getting an individually tailored level of motivation and challenge, I never feel left behind or pushed too hard. The academy building is spacious with plenty of good quality equipment and it is all always clean. There is parking on site and a reception area that parents can wait in and keep an eye on the class via the TV screens showing a live feed of the main gym area. If you are going to wait in this area though, take sunglasses.... There is a serious trophy collection, they've won more competitions than Rangers and Celtic combined! We have not started the kickboxing classes yet, (I'm delaying getting punched out by my daughter! ) but can see and hear Chris running a session for the younger students in the area next to us and the kids look happy, safe and fully engaged. Chris and Ben clearly share a supportive and personal approach to their classes and students. We are really happy we joined Aston's Kickboxing Academy and would absolutely recommend it without hesitation.

 My son has been coming for nearly 5 years now and absolutely loves it. Chris and Ben are great with the kids, supportive and stern all at the same time. Classes seem fun but he comes out sweaty every time so I know he's worked hard too.

 My sons 5 now and has been training here for over a year now & seeing how much he’s progressed and grown in confidence just shows how important it is to do something like this. Chris has put so much effort in to push Leo to be the best he possibly can and it shows. The amount he’s progressed since he’s started is something I thought would take him longer to master but Chris keeps pushing him and every session he gets better and better. I’ve been to a few classes elsewhere over the years, and I’ve never met a coach as attentive and willing to go above and beyond as Chris. If you’re looking for somewhere to train or take your kids to train I’d 100% recommend Astons Kickboxing. 

Connor

 My son has been going to Astons kickboxing for a few months now and he absolutely loves it. Chris and the team are really welcoming and always great with communication and updates. I’m already seeing a huge change in development since bringing my 4 year old and looking forward to see him progress with Chris and the team over years to come. 

Luke Jones
Parent
     

 I've been attending Adults kick boxing for 12 months now. I never envisaged how much I'd enjoy something like this. I'm mid thirties & have never done any fighting or martial art before. I started on one session a week and upped it to two sessions per week. It's the perfect balance of support, discipline and a brilliant atmosphere. My mental health, productivity in my business have all gone through the roof & I am 1.5stone down on this time last year! Thanks to Chris & Ben 

Dan Mascord
Student
     

 I’ve been attending the adult classes for a few years now, and the training is always intense, well structured, and expertly taught by both Chris and Ben. I’ve learnt a huge amount from them over the years they know how to push you to improve while still keeping communication constructive and supportive. What really stands out about Astons is the community. I never expected myself to get into a fighting sport, but years later I’m still here and enjoying it more than ever, and you can have a laugh here which is a bonus. If anything, I want to get even more involved, do more lessons etc, which says a lot about what Chris and Ben have built. Whether you’re looking to improve fitness, learn proper technical skills, or become part of a great community, I’d highly recommend Astons. And if you’re only interested in the fitness side, there’s no pressure to fully spar, they respect that.
