🥊🧠 KICKBOXING — TRAINING THEIR BODY AND THEIR BRAIN

Want another reason to get your child involved in kickboxing?

Research reviewed by the Youth Sport Trust found that physically active children tend to achieve higher levels of academic attainment and that physical activity can support:

🎯 Concentration & attention
🧠 Memory & cognitive function
💪 Physical health & wellbeing
🎓 Learning & academic attainment
⭐ Self-regulation

But here’s the really interesting part for martial arts…

🥋 The research highlights emerging evidence that cognitively challenging physical activities, including martial arts, may produce greater and more sustainable improvements in executive functions than activities involving less cognitive demand.

And that makes sense.

In kickboxing, children aren’t just exercising.

They’re listening, remembering combinations, reacting to opponents, making decisions, developing coordination, controlling their emotions and learning to stay focused under pressure.

It’s a workout for the brain as well as the body.

🥊 Active Body
🧠 Active Mind
⭐ Confident Child

At Fighting Falcons, we believe children’s sport should help develop the whole child.

🥊 NEW: FALCONETTES – LADIES KICKBOXING 🥊
Stronger Together. 💗

Fancy getting fitter, learning something completely different and having a laugh while you do it?

Falconettes is our ladies-only kickboxing class — designed around fun, fitness, confidence and learning new skills with a great group of like-minded women.

📅 Every Thursday
⏰ 6:15pm – 7:15pm
🥊 First trial class FREE

And don’t worry — this is NOT a competitive class.
You don’t need to be fit before you start. You don’t need any martial arts experience. And nobody is expecting you to get in a ring!

It’s simply a different way to exercise while learning genuine kickboxing skills, improving your fitness and becoming part of the Fighting Falcons community.

🔥 Burn calories & improve fitness
💪 Build strength and confidence
🥊 Learn real kickboxing skills
😄 Have fun while you train
👭 Meet and train with like-minded women

Here’s the really good bit...

Falconettes is FREE under our existing memberships.
So if your children or partner already train with Fighting Falcons under one of our memberships, Mums can come along and join the Falconettes class at no additional cost.

Rather than sitting on the sidelines watching everyone else train, Thursday night can be your training night too. 🥊

🎒 BACK TO SCHOOL. BACK TO ROUTINE. TIME TO TRY SOMETHING NEW! 🥊

The start of a new school year is a great time for children and teenagers to take on a new challenge — and martial arts offers far more than learning how to kick and punch.

At Fighting Falcons School of Martial Arts, we help young people develop:

🥊 Confidence & self-esteem
🎯 Focus & discipline
💪 Fitness, strength & coordination
🤝 Respect & leadership
👥 Friendships & teamwork
❤️ A real sense of community and belonging

Most importantly, we have fun doing it!

Whether your child wants to get fitter, become more confident, make new friends, learn martial arts or perhaps even discover a competitive sport they love, there’s a place for them at the Falcons.

🇬🇧 A NEW CHAPTER FOR BRITISH KICKBOXING 🇬🇧

Following considerable discussion and deliberation by the Kickboxing GB Board, we are pleased to announce an important development for the future of British kickboxing.

In 2027, Kickboxing GB will host TWO major national events.

📍 27–28 February 2027: Kickboxing GB British Championships
Ponds Forge Sports Centre, Sheffield (Selection & Qualification Event)

📍 24–25 April 2027: Kickboxing GB National Open Championships (Selection & Qualification Event)
Warwick University, Coventry

This is not a decision that has been made lightly. The Board has carefully considered what is needed to continue developing our sport, creating meaningful opportunities for our athletes and clubs, and building a stronger competitive pathway within the UK.

We believe this structure is the right move to elevate kickboxing in the UK; providing a clear and prestigious official British Championship, alongside a second major event designed to support selection, qualification, and athlete development.

We know that with change comes questions.

•⁠ ⁠How will selection work?
•⁠ ⁠What does this mean for athletes?
•⁠ ⁠What are the requirements for each event?

We’re listening, and we want to make this as clear and transparent as possible. A comprehensive FAQ covering selection, eligibility, pathways and all the important details will be released shortly.

For now, we simply wanted to share the news.

One British Champion. Two National events. One vision for the future of British kickboxing. 🇬🇧

The next chapter begins in 2027.

🇬🇧 FOLLOWING IN HER BIG BROTHER’S FOOTSTEPS 🇬🇧

We are incredibly proud to announce that Cara Mitchell, who is just eight years old, will represent Great Britain at the 2026 WAKO Youth World Championships in Jesolo, Italy.

Competing in the Female Children’s −21kg Point Fighting division, Cara will follow in the footsteps of her big brother, Cassius, by taking her place on the world stage in a Team GB uniform.

Representing your country at any age is a remarkable achievement, but to earn this opportunity at just eight years old makes it especially memorable. Cara has worked incredibly hard and continues to show great commitment, courage and determination.

The Mitchell family will once again be cheering on one of their own—and the entire Fighting Falcons team will be right behind her.

Congratulations, Cara. Enjoy every moment, compete with confidence and wear the flag with pride! 🥊🇬🇧
