I began my journey in Kick Boxing at Phoenix Martial Arts Leeds in November 2024, having received a recommendation. My step-son and I decided to join together, and I was pleasantly surprised by the warm and welcoming atmosphere. Initially, I had concerns about being judged, but I quickly discovered that Phoenix truly feels like one big family.

After the challenges of the COVID lockdown, I struggled with my fitness—walking a mile would leave me out of breath. However, after a couple of months of dedicated training, I've significantly improved my physical abilities and have started enjoying various physical activities again.

The instructors at PMA Leeds are exceptional. They break down every technique into manageable parts and present them in a way that is easy to grasp. Overall, I would rate my experience a solid 10/10, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone. There’s something here for the whole family to enjoy!

I’ve been training with Phoenix Martial Arts Leeds just short of two years. I’ve seen a vast improvement in my fitness since training. I do the Ladies only class but the atmosphere and solidarity across the academy is 100% and supportive with a very friendly and welcoming team. Highly recommend this academy as you’ll be surprised just how much you learn in a short space of time.

Great community and classes, love every lesson. Mr Mensah always brings positivity to the group and makes martial arts enjoyable for every age and ability. Started off about 7 months ago with minimal experience in kickboxing and karate and worked up my confidence in both. 🙂 Every class is enjoyable at PMA

I’ve been training here for a month now, and I couldn’t be happier! The atmosphere is welcoming and motivating, making it easy for beginners and experienced fighters alike to feel at home. The instructor is incredibly knowledgeable and take the time to ensure that everyone is mastering the fundamentals while also pushing us to improve our skills.

The classes are well-structured, combining intense workouts with essential techniques that are both challenging and rewarding. I especially appreciate the emphasis on proper form and technique, as it has really helped enhance my performance and confidence.

In addition to the training, I’ve met some amazing fellow students who share the same passion. It's not just a workout; it's a supportive community and a great way to make friends while learning Martial Arts!

If you’re considering kickboxing for fitness, self-defense, or just for fun, I highly recommend Phoenix Martial Arts. It's been an incredible experience, and I look forward to continuing my journey here!

I had a taster session, and it was brilliant, and they were very welcoming, unfortunately the cost was a bit too much for me, as I intend to move away very soon, but those that are willing to commit, I would say it's definitely worth it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Kickboxing a Martial Art?

Yes, Kickboxing blends powerful martial arts techniques with modern training, making it one of the most versatile and effective combat styles out there. At Phoenix Martial Arts Selby, we teach kickboxing not just for self-defence and fitness, but also to develop focus and discipline. If you’re just starting, have a read of our blog on Common Misconceptions About Kickboxing for Beginners – it’s a great place to get a better feel for what to expect.

Is Kickboxing Good for Weight Loss?

Kickboxing is brilliant for burning calories and toning up. The combination of cardio, strength, and high-intensity movement makes it ideal for anyone wanting to shift weight in a fun and energetic way. If you’re short on time, check out our post on Kickboxing for Busy People: How to Get Fit with Limited Time for tips on how to make it work with your schedule.

Does Kickboxing Build Muscle?

Yes, it helps build lean muscle while boosting your overall strength. Every punch, kick, and squat you do in class works multiple muscle groups without needing to lift heavy weights.

We further explained this in our blog on The Health Benefits of Kickboxing Workouts, if you fancy a proper look at the full body benefits.

How Often Should You Do Kickboxing to Lose Weight?

We recommend training at least 2 to 3 times a week to see results. That gives your body time to recover while staying consistent. If weight loss is your goal, mix kickboxing with a balanced diet and regular movement outside the class, too.

You can further read here, the Benefits You Can Get by Practicing Kickboxing.

Can Kickboxing Help Improve My Mental Toughness?

It really can. The more you push yourself, the more you realise what you’re capable of, and that mindset carries over into your everyday life. If confidence and mental strength are things you’re working on, have a read of Kickboxing for Confidence. It covers how regular training can shift your outlook in powerful ways.
