Latest News - Okami Dojo :

------------------------------------

The LATEST NEWS section of this website contains results from those students that have decided to take Belt Grading exams, or to Compete on the
A.K.A. ( Amateur Kickboxing ) circuit.

Also listed is International news for "K-1" ( Professional Kickboxing ).

Could we remind all new enquires to the school, that these areas are not compulsory! as part of their training.

The majority of our members train specifically for fitness, for self-defence and to improve their self-confidence.

Only a small proportion of our members do actually compete or grade.

However, we hope that you will appreciate this LATEST NEWS section, as it shows the high calibre of the students that are members of our martial arts school and reflects the high standard of tuition given at Warrington Kickboxing

Further Reading - Past Years Achievements:

Please take time to view through some of our news archives on Warrington Kickboxing Studio and the achievements of its members.

Also interesting is to follow individuals development, especially on the competition circuit as they advance through the national rankings and capture championship belts.

Many people have joined W.K.S. because of our reputation as being one of the leading martial arts centres in the country, and when you read our archives, you will see why.

Since it was established in 1994, W.K.S. has produced no fewer than 40 Blackbelts, and as well as coaching several National Champions, has in recent times had many students represent their country and compete at International level. This has seen Warrington gain 2 European and 2 World Champions!.
