Your Journey Starts Here

Every 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.

White Belt
Grade 0: Day One

White Belt

Where everyone starts, child or adult. Stance, guard, footwork and the academy’s code of conduct: the foundations every later belt is built on.

Yellow Belt
Grade 1

Yellow Belt

Understanding the basics. Straight punches, front and roundhouse kicks, first blocks and simple combinations, all practised on both sides.

Orange Belt
Grade 2

Orange Belt

Real technical ability. Hooks and body shots, side and back kicks, slipping and blocking, and learning to link attack, defence and attack again.

Student with his green belt and certificate at Astons Kickboxing Academy, Shrewsbury
Green Belt
Grade 3

Green Belt

Technique with speed. Uppercuts, axe and switch kicks, sweeps and rolling under punches, plus knowing the rules and the first controlled sparring rounds.

Grade 4

Green Stripe

Green belt skills under pressure. The same techniques, now thrown on the move, in longer combinations, against a partner who answers back.

Blue Belt
Grade 5

Blue Belt

Technique with power. Head-height and spinning kicks, counter-attacks and breaking an opponent’s rhythm, and setting the example for newer students.

Blue Stripe
Grade 6

Blue Stripe

Power with control. Counters become instinctive, sparring becomes tactical, and fitness is built to last round after round.

Red Belt
Grade 7

Red Belt

Precision at full pace. Advanced kicks land where they are aimed, defence flows straight into attack, and senior students help bring others on.

Student with his brown belt and certificate at Astons Kickboxing Academy, Shrewsbury
Brown Belt
Grade 8

Brown Belt

Technique close to perfect. Jumping and sliding kicks, counters with hands and feet, and the tactical range to handle any style of opponent.

Grade 9: The Final Step

Brown Stripe

Black belt preparation. Everything from white belt upwards, sharp and automatic, alongside the leadership expected of a senior grade.

Black Belt

Not the end. The real beginning. 1st Dan through 10th Dan: a lifetime of mastery, teaching, and growth. Built on years of discipline, respect, and commitment.

More Than Just Kickboxing

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.
