I started kickboxing about a year ago and haven't looked back since. Martial Arts was something I had never thought of doing untill a friend recommended it to me. I had recently lost a lot of weight and was looking for a way of keeping the weight off and improving my fitness. I have managed to do both these things. I never really thought about grading but the minute I put my white belt on, I know it needed to be a colour! The highlight of the year for me was winning the 'student of the year award ' at the awards ceremony in February. The instructors are excellent in every way. Master Sutherland in an inspirtion and shining example to all her students. I have even to managed to get my teenage son off the couch and out the door to training with me!
