Warrington Kickboxing Studio runs children’s martial
arts classes weekly, and does not allow any children under the age of 16 to compete,
at all, with training geared towards fitness andf self-defence applications.
During
training at Warrington Kickboxing Studio,
all of our members, children and adults alike, must adhere to strict safety conditions,
and wear protective equipment consisting of Headgear, Bodyshield, Arm-guards,
Shin-guards, and padded Gloves that are double the standard in padded weight,
(being 16oz as opposed to 8oz). Further to this, although
the children are wearing headguards, children are never allowed to have
any head contact at all during their martial arts training. Unfortunately,
Thai-Kickboxing does not have a national regulatory body that every school must
conform to as a mandatory requirement, and many schools choose to not follow any
of the aforementioned basics. Some Instructors even advocate
children competing to professional standards, without any protective equipment
and allowing full-contact knockout blows to the head, as seen in Thailand. Again,
this must be stressed that this is not supported at all by Warrington
Kickboxing Studio. Warrington
Kickboxing Studio operates to the highest of safety standards,
and is one of the countries leading martial arts centres due to this. Warrington
Kickboxing Studio also conforms to a leading regulatory body,
working with the Amateur Kickboxing Association of England ( A.K.A.
).
'A.K.A. England
Official Website - CLICK HERE'
The A.K.A.
, is working towards the ideal of developing Kickboxing as a potential future
Olympic sport. The Olympic Style Rules, ( O.S.R. ), used for the Olympic sports
of ‘A.B.A.’ Boxing and
‘W.T.F.’ Taekwondo (
a kicking martial art/sport ) are the basis for the ‘O.S.R.’ Kickboxing
format, where 'players' compete in a sport for points wearing complete safety
equipment, as opposed to 'fighters' looking to defeat an opponent by aggression.
Additionally, as with Olympic Boxing, should a player be losing a match
the points scoreboard, a contest is stopped early due to the ‘Outclass’
rule. This further enhances the sport as a game, rather than a sensationalised
fight, that players can safely compete in. To view an O.S.R. Kickboxing
bout, click here On the Warrington
Guardian’s newspaper website, should you run a search for Kickboxing ( not
Thaiboxing ) you will see several editorials on Warrington Kickboxing
Studio's members representing their town and country on A.K.A.
events under O.S.R. rules.
Should anyone wish to discuss further this subject,
please contact the school director, Neil Holden, either by email
through the Warrington Kickboxing Studio’s
website or by telephone on 07973-43-18-18. 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 over 30 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!.
