Book a Free TrialEvery student walks through our doors for the first time as a beginner. What happens next is a transformation, not just in skill, but in confidence, discipline, and character. This is the path every Astons student follows, from their very first class to black belt and beyond.
Where everyone starts, child or adult. Stance, guard, footwork and the academy’s code of conduct: the foundations every later belt is built on.
Understanding the basics. Straight punches, front and roundhouse kicks, first blocks and simple combinations, all practised on both sides.
Real technical ability. Hooks and body shots, side and back kicks, slipping and blocking, and learning to link attack, defence and attack again.
Technique with speed. Uppercuts, axe and switch kicks, sweeps and rolling under punches, plus knowing the rules and the first controlled sparring rounds.
Green belt skills under pressure. The same techniques, now thrown on the move, in longer combinations, against a partner who answers back.
Technique with power. Head-height and spinning kicks, counter-attacks and breaking an opponent’s rhythm, and setting the example for newer students.
Power with control. Counters become instinctive, sparring becomes tactical, and fitness is built to last round after round.
Precision at full pace. Advanced kicks land where they are aimed, defence flows straight into attack, and senior students help bring others on.
Technique close to perfect. Jumping and sliding kicks, counters with hands and feet, and the tactical range to handle any style of opponent.
Black belt preparation. Everything from white belt upwards, sharp and automatic, alongside the leadership expected of a senior grade.

We help children from age 4 and adults of all abilities build confidence, discipline, and self-belief through structured, supportive kickboxing training.
Some join to build confidence. Some for fitness. Some to learn discipline, focus, or self-defence. What they gain often goes far beyond that.
