Kickboxing in Liverpool
Kickboxing in Waterloo & North Liverpool: fight-fit, fast
About Kick Boxing
Kickboxing at Warrior Combat Gym is fast, friendly and the easiest way into striking: punches, kicks, footwork and pad work, drilled at your own pace. It runs every Tuesday at 6pm in Waterloo, coached by Joe Champion, who has over twenty years in striking, and there are usually ten to fifteen people on the mat. Most of the class started with no experience at all. You are taught the technique, you drill it with a partner, and nobody is left standing at the back wondering what to do. Sparring is optional and never on your first night. It is brilliant for fitness, confidence and coordination, and it works on its own or alongside boxing on Monday, MMA on Wednesday and Muay Thai on Thursday. Your first class is free, then it is £8 a session, £6 for 13 to 16 year olds, or it is included in membership.

Who coaches it
Joe Champion takes the class, with over twenty years in striking and coaching. Ten to fifteen people is a normal Tuesday, so you always have somebody at your level to work with. Meet the rest of the team on the coaches page.
What to bring
Trainers, shorts or joggers, a t-shirt and water for your first class. If you keep coming you will want wraps and gloves, and the coaches will tell you what to buy so you do not waste money on the wrong thing.
Kickboxing, Muay Thai or boxing?
People ask this every week. Kickboxing is punches and kicks with a quick, light feel and the friendliest way in. Muay Thai adds knees, elbows and the clinch and hits harder. Boxing is hands only, and the best place to learn defence properly. They are all in the same membership, so you can try all three and keep the one you love.
Women who would rather start with women
We run women's only sessions as well, and plenty of women train in the main class too. Have a look at Warrior Women for what is on.
