Father and daughter. Black belts together. Still pushing each other forward! 🥊🔥

Take a look at these two putting in the work on the pads!

I talk a lot about Champions Character and Focus • Skill • Belief because personal development is what I’m passionate about. And that development can happen at any age.

We train adults too—and as this video shows, they certainly put the effort in! 💪

What makes this particularly special is that Amber and her dad train together. They even achieved their black belts together. What a brilliant experience to share as father and daughter.

Amber is now a qualified martial arts instructor who helps teach at our school, and we’re lucky to have her. Her dad is very proud of what she’s accomplished—and he has plenty to be proud of in his own progress too.

At Kicx, students start from two and a half years old, with opportunities to keep learning and training throughout adulthood.

We have family classes, adult classes and ladies-only classes. Whether you want to get fitter, learn new skills, build confidence or enjoy doing something together, there’s a place for you here.

Fancy giving it a go? Send us a message and we’ll help you find the right class. 😊

🎯 **Parents, help your child think BIG!**

In martial arts, we help our students picture themselves wearing a **black belt**. It’s a massive goal—but the reason they want to achieve it matters even more.

The skills. The confidence. The pride of saying, **“I set a goal. I worked for it. I did it!”**

This is what we’re exploring through **Champions Hit Targets** at Kicx Academy.

In this video, I share five steps you can use with your child:

1️⃣ Make the goal **BIG!**
2️⃣ Find a **WHY** that matters to them.
3️⃣ Take **MASSIVE ACTION**—make a plan and follow through.
4️⃣ Review their progress.
5️⃣ Change the approach when needed.

These lessons reach far beyond martial arts. Children can use them at school, with a new hobby and throughout life.

💬 **What’s one goal your child would love to achieve?** Ask them tonight—you might be surprised by their answer!

**Focus • Skill • Belief**

Looking for something positive for your child? 🥋

At Kicx, martial arts is the fun part — but what we're really passionate about is helping children develop Focus, Skills and Belief.

We want children to become better listeners, grow in confidence, learn self-defence and, most importantly, believe in themselves.

We've put together a short video that explains what we do, shows you some of our actual classes and explains how our Champions Experience trial works.

💪BE PROACTIVE, NOT REACTIVE!🥋

One of the most important things we encourage in our students is the ability to be proactive- don’t wait for things to happen, take action and make things happen!

Whether it’s in training, school, at home or in everyday life, being proactive means looking ahead, taking responsibility and making positive choices.

Martial arts is about so much more than learning techniques. We’re helping our students develop confidence, discipline, focus and the mindset to take action.

Keep pushing forward, keep challenging yourself and most importantly, be proactive! 🔥💪

🥋Black Belt class- Tuesday Night!🔥

What a session! I put our Black Belts through some difficult combinations on Tuesday, and they were looking great!💪

It’s fantastic seeing so many of our higher grades getting involved in the Black Belt class now too- and from all different ages. It really shows the commitment and dedication across the club.

Keep up the great work, everyone! 👏🥋🔥

🥋Last week’s Weekly Move: Hammer Fist! 💥

What a fantastic class last week!👏

Everyone worked hard on their hammer fist, and it was brilliant to see the whole class holding the correct stances, staying focused, and really putting their technique into practice.

There was a great deal of focus on show in this class- exactly what we live to see!💪

Remember, we don’t just teach martial arts. We help our students build focus, confidence, discipline, respect and character along the way.

Well done everyone- keep up the great work!🥋🔥💪

🥋This Week’s Focus: PRINCIPLES

At KICX, we teach much more than kicks and punches.

We teach life skills. We teach our students how to become stronger, more confident, respectful and responsible people- both inside and outside the dojo.

This week, we’re focusing on PRINCIPLES

A principle is a rule or belief that helps guide the way we live and the choices we make.

Our core message this week is:

👉”If I follow the right rules, things get better”

That applies to martial arts, school, friends, family life, and eventually the workplace.

When we follow the right principles:
👉we learn to keep going when things get difficult
👉we learn to treat others with respect
👉we learn that better choices lead to better outcomes

The goal isn’t just to raise great martial artists.

It’s to help raise great people.

And sometimes the most important lessons we teach aren’t about how to throw a punch…

They’re about how to become the best versions of ourselves. 🥋❤️

This week, let’s remind ourselves: “if I follow the right rules, things get better”

PRINCIPLES AND VALUES: WHY DOES THE ORDER MATTER?

We often hear people talk about having strong values—but principles and values are not quite the same.

Principles show us the right way: honesty, kindness, fairness and respect.

Values are the things that matter to us: family, friends, learning and sometimes winning.

Winning may be important to a child, but the principles of honesty and fairness teach them that cheating is never the right way to achieve it.

That is why we teach principles first in our Champions Character Programme. Strong principles provide the foundation children need to make better choices—even when doing the right thing is difficult.

Watch this short video to hear me explain the difference.

Principles show us the right way.
Values tell us what matters.
Character is choosing the right way—even when it is difficult.

What principle do you believe every child should learn?

Character Comes First.
