KB SHOTS

KB members work hard. They are committed to their training and know what is required for them to reach the next level. They are enthusiastic and upbeat in their training, so it’s no surprise that, when it’s time to celebrate, they are also unstoppable!

After an intense and exhilarating grading, when members are awarded their new belts in KB Kickboxing or sashes in KB Kung Fu, they gather at a local pub to celebrate together with their instructors to celebrate the achievements of the day.

The camaraderie and friendships formed in the KB dojo are beautiful to see. These friendships are the origin of several KB traditions, one of which is KB coloured shots. Although all graders are welcome to partake in this tradition, it is most popular with the higher grades in the school.

The KB coloured shots tradition started about 7 years ago and involves the Kickboxing graders drinking shots of the same colour as their new belts. It can be challenging to find shots in blue, green, orange, purple, brown and black. Some are easier to find than others, so over the years there has been an array of creative choices, ranging from orange juice to Guinness!

KB Chief Instructor, Kelly Bunyan said: "Whatever is in the shot glass, the tradition of the ritual is a great, fun way for my students to celebrate the joy of their achievements and the cheers of their peers. It's always a good laugh!"

All our members are encouraged to join the social side of KB Fitness and celebrate at the pub after each KB Kung Fu and KB Kickboxing grading.

SPARRING THRILL

Martial arts training has many different aspects, and different methods of delivering the traditional teachings that are passed down from master to student. Of these aspects, one of the most popular amongst KB members is sparring, which is fighting in a controlled manner. Sparring entails kicking, punching and blocking work with a partner, whilst wearing protective equipment.

NEVER DOUBT YOURSELF

Martial arts training requires focus, resilience, discipline and patience. Progression takes time, and can at times be challenging. In a world where negative thoughts may be the norm, where it may be easier to give up than persevere, KB Fitness’ martial arts classes London teach KB members to keep fighting and that, with practise, there is nothing they can’t master.

KB HAS MADE ME

Inspired by one of our YouTube videos, KB members shared what they have gained from their KB Fitness training by completing the sentence “KB has made me…” in the school’s WhatsApp group.

WHAT OUR MEMBERS SAY...

Many of our members have been with us for almost 2 decades. Some members explain why training in the martial arts at KB Fitness is so good for you. They confirm that their confidence, fitness, body shape, stamina and flexibility have improved. Adam particularly believes he’s sleeping better as a direct result of Kickboxing, as well as feeling boosted.
