Kickboxing

Kickboxing can be described as a generic term for a sporting martial art that, while similar to boxing, uses feet as well as hands for fighting. Our classes combine both kickboxing and sport karate. This enables students to learn both disciplines to help improve their skills.

Kickboxing classes are available for both adults and children.

Our club is registered with W.A.K.O (World Association of Kickboxing Organisations) and A.M.A (Amateur Martial Association).

Sport Karate

“Karate is the sport of empty hand self-defence. It trains the human body to become the ultimate and only weapon one may need to defend oneself. It is a true mind/body/spirit discipline. All of these must be in balance for us to realise our true potential.”

Sport karate, unlike the more traditional styles of karate, is used for competitions and is renowned for the speed in which techniques are carried out. Sport karate competitions are scored on a point’s basis, where, as each point is scored the competitors stop and go back to their starting positions so fighting can recommence until another point is scored.

Techniques are graded similar to traditional styles so students can progress to black belt. Students are also taught locks and holds for self defence and grappling techniques.

Lil Dragons

The programme:

The Lil Dragons programme is designed for children aged between 4 and 7. The skills that we teach the Lil Dragons are Focus, Cooperation, Balance, Memory, Discipline, Exercise and Co-ordination.

We also do confidence building. One of the ways we do this is through our Lil Dragons student creed:

“I am a Lil Dragon,
Oh so strong,
Learning each day, what’s right and wrong,
During this class, I know I’ll find,
Honesty for the heart,
And knowledge for my mind,
Dressed in purple, green and white,
This class will teach me might for right!”

External Company and Team Fitness Training

Although Ace is a full-time martial arts centre, the complex is also available to rent for instructed and self-supervised training to companies and sports teams in the day time. We currently supply facilities to a range of companies who use the area for team training, the soft matted floors are particularly useful to practical training and has been essential for such companies as Reflections Care and Educare who are responsible for the training of the majority of national social workers. Along with many local teams using the facilities here at ace on a regular basis, we are also honoured to have AFC Telford pre-season training under the instruction of Richie Woodhall (former WBO super middleweight champion). This is always an awesome training session which the guys appear to enjoy.
