Training

Our training is of Thai kickboxing origins and western style boxing methods, but our methodology and ideology is universal. We incorporate the latest up-to-date training methods from around the world to give you a comprehensive and practical system for kickboxing.

Origins

Muay Thai is one of the most devastating stand-up fighting systems in the world. Thai boxing as it is known, originated over 1,000 years ago, and has evolved from military origins into the popular international sport it is today.

Purpose

Many people enter the sport for different reasons, and while some will carry on the tradition, others appreciate the sport mainly as a way of getting into shape, learning self-defence and understanding a different culture. The use of boxing, kicking, elbowing and kneeing makes Muay Thai incredibly effective as a street self-defence art, and a practical part of mixed martial arts cross training.

So why not come down to the club and try it out for free, we will give you a free lesson!

How will it help you?

The first thing you will notice when you begin training is the physical conditioning aspect. Over a short period, regular training will greatly increase your aerobic fitness, lower your heart rate, improve your circulation, strengthen major body muscles and reduce excess weight. Making you feel alive, fit and healthy!

What’s covered in class?

Classes consist of fitness work, defensive drills, pad and bag workouts, partner drills, ring craft, fight training, speed development, some grappling with strength and conditioning work. Our classes are designed to give students a goal to work towards and a sense of achievement by preparing students for grading, if they choose to.

Competition

If you would like to compete then we have separate Fight Team training classes and offer at least two opportunities each year to compete under our own WKA sanctioned (World Kickboxing and Karate Association) Fight Entertainment events,  which are run in conjunction with Proactive Martial Arts.  These events cater for the complete beginner (Novice) competitor through to the experienced fighter.  Competing in these events is a great way to start your fight journey or just tick off a bucket list item.

We are fortunate to have our own full sized Thai Boxing ring along with a fantastic group of motivated Instructors with years of coaching and fight experience under their belts.

WKA is a worldwide organisation with loads of opportunities to compete all over the globe!  We take a team to the World Champs at least every two years and travel to places such as England, Spain, Thailand and Australia to compete.

Kickboxing Training Camps & Seminars

There are yearly opportunities to travel to Thailand and Australia for training camps and seminars and both Proactive and PUNCH Inc. (Proactive United Non-Profit Charitable Hombu) host regular seminars with international guest instructors on site at our Riccarton Hombu.

Grading Option

Proactive has been teaching a fully structured Muay Thai Kickboxing curriculum for the past 20 years + which incorporates a grading system - students have the opportunity to grade through the levels and earn coloured shirts after certain time frames of consistent training.

Grading is not compulsory, but provides a training goal to focus on, a sense of achievement on completion, and a formal opportunity to receive feedback on technique and gauge personal development.
