SOCIAL ANXIETY

“For me, because of my anxiety, my confidence was really low, and I didn’t think I could be good at anything. It took me some time after I started kickboxing training to overcome those thoughts and realise that I was actually learning martial arts and achieving goals in the dojo. Once I realised that I could be good at Kickboxing, my confidence soared and spread through other areas of my life,” said Mark.

Training martial arts at KB Fitness in Central London will help you build your confidence, improve your mental health and ensure you feel cared for. Focusing on learning a new art form in our kickboxing classes in London, and enjoying your progress, will help to quieten inner ‘noise’ and give you a sense of calm.

Watch this video, where Kelly FN, KB Kickboxing Black Belt and KB Kung Fu Purple Sash, talks about how training in KB’s London kickboxing classes has helped her cope with her anxiety.

“Anxiety is an ongoing battle. It can be a lonely battle, too. The world can get too noisy and too bright sometimes. I know this won’t make sense to everyone, but that’s what it’s like for me; overwhelming. Training in the martial arts has helped me focus and quieten the noises inside my head. It brings me peace, a sense of belonging and achievement. It has made me feel stronger and taught me invaluable lessons,” said Kelly FN.

The nurturing space, the kindness of your training peers, and the individual care and interest of the teaching team mean that you have a safe haven within which you can heal.
