Little Rockers Age 6-11

Rock solid Kickboxing hold special children’s only classes for 6 to 11 year olds in selected areas, affectionately known as ” Little Rockers.” Please browse through the “classes” page to find your nearest club for children. The starting age of a child may vary slightly depending on the child’s ability to learn. We have accepted Little Rockers as young as four, but this is down to the instructor’s discretion.

Child sparring is very controlled light contact without face punching, and all participating children must wear full protective equipment 

Increasing Skills

Rock Solid kickboxing instructors are all DBS checked and have completed a child protection course which is available for inspection upon request. All instructors have to go through a rigorous training programme before working with children and are trained in all aspects of child safety. Rock Solid Kickboxing has in place its own Child Protection Policy. All instructors are aware they have a duty of care and must act upon any information, under section 47 of the children’s act. A mandatory Risk Assessment of the teaching environment is carried out, before a given venue is chosen and before and during every session.

The children’s classes take into account both the child’s age and attention span. Children learn better when they are at play and enjoying themselves. Little Rockers are treated as individuals, following the very nature of kickboxing. Children will not be encouraged to use their newly acquired skills outside the class environment, except in extreme circumstances.

Little Rockers will practice their punching and kicking techniques on pads and strike shields. They are taught the value of team spirit and team work, whilst using their individual skills to succeed. Most of all they will gain confidence in theirselves and respect for others. Sparring is an option offered to children if it is agreed to take part in by parents. Child sparring is very controlled light contact without face punching, and all participating children must wear full protective equipment. See “sparring” for further information. Sparring takes part in a class where there are adequate instructors available to control the class. We Look forward to seeing yourLittle Rocker at a class real soon.

Build Strength Through Training!

If you are looking for a great way to define the muscles of your upper body, try kickboxing. Although it may sound like kickboxing is only good for working the lower body, it is actually a healthy, strength-building activity for your whole body. In addition to being a strength- building exercise, kickboxing works the heart muscle and creates an aerobic effect.

Kickboxing has traditionally been thought of only as a martial arts activity, but is becoming an increasingly popular form of aerobics and strength training.

  • IMPROVE YOUR DIET

    As any sport, a healthy balanced diet is important to maintain a healthy body and assist with recovery and muscle growth.

  • STAY DETERMINED

    Stay focused, train hard and enjoy the sport. At times, it will be difficult and this will be the biggest test to see if you have what it takes to continue.

  • PUSH YOUR LIMITS

    It is important to push yourself beyond what you feel is possible. You are stronger than you think and RSK will help show you just how strong you are. We will help you push yourself harder.

Build KO Kickboxing Power!

Kickboxing is an intense physical sport and has high demands on the body. There is no denying that. While other martial arts and combat can be draining, and require endurance, no other art is reliant on explosive knockout power as kickboxing training. Grappling definitely requires strength, but it is quite possible to pull off a submission on skill, knowledge, leverage, and finesse, without brute strength.

Kickboxing training has a much higher demand on physical conditioning, because the speed and power of the punch or kick directly determine the effectiveness. RSK will help you build the different physical skill sets you need to develop your KO power as a kickboxer.

Build A Fitter Body Through Kickboxing!

When athletes, especially in kickboxing training, talk about endurance, they usually just say Cardio. It is a different kind of endurance, as it uses the aerobic energy system to keep you running. This is the endurance that is the difference between barely breaking a sweat in your kickboxing training versus gasping for air. You can develop this in a number of ways, and the most common is hopping on a treadmill. Nothing wrong in that, if you’re doing it the right way.

However, way too many people think of just running for 15-20 minutes. That’s a great timeframe, but what do you do during that 15-20 minutes? What’s better? Running a mile in 10 minutes, or a mile and a half in 10 minutes? You’re doing more work in less time. That’s going to keep you at an elevated heart rate, you’ll expend more energy, your heart will become stronger, and you’ll push harder.
