Frequently asked questions Cadets – Ages 11–13

• What is Cadets Kickboxing?
  Cadets bridges the gap between our children's and older teenage programmes. Students develop more advanced kickboxing skills while building fitness, confidence, discipline and independence.
• Can complete beginners join at 11–13?
  Absolutely. You don't have to have trained in our younger programmes. New students can start at any point, and we'll teach you the fundamentals.
• Is the training physically challenging?
  Yes, but you work at an appropriate level. Classes are designed to improve fitness, coordination, strength, speed and kickboxing ability progressively.
• Do Cadets have to spar?
  Sparring is an important part of martial arts development, but students aren't simply thrown into fighting. Skills, control and confidence are developed progressively before more advanced partner work.
• Can Cadets compete for Endurance?
  Yes. Students who want to compete can work towards our Fight Team pathway, subject to their ability, attitude, attendance and readiness.
• Is kickboxing good for confidence?
  It can be excellent for confidence because students continually learn new skills, overcome challenges and see their own progress. We also encourage responsibility, resilience and respect alongside physical development.
• Can I come for a Free Trial even if I don't know anyone?
  Yes. Plenty of our students started without knowing anybody. Come along, meet the instructors and train with the team.
