Thurles Kickboxing Club
Thurles Kickboxing Club has been located in Knox's Community Hall, The Mall, Thurles since 2003. During this time the club has gone from strength to strength.
Martial arts and fitness training are in an ever-evolving state and therefore we are constantly looking to develop new and exciting programmes for our members, as well as staying up to date with the newest advances in training. The club trains and competes in a variety of kickboxing styles including:
- Full-contact
- Low-Kick
- K-1
Additionally the club also has classes in the following:
- Grappling (No-GI, stand-up and ground, under the guidance of our grappling coach Kordian Szukala)
- Keysi Fighting Method - KFM (primarily a fighting method aimed at modern day self-defence, with a great deal of emphasis placed on training with multiple attackers in a variety of real life settings.).
As such, we have had to ensure that our facilities allow for such advances and we now have a fully equipped martial arts gym, at Knox's hall.
The gym includes a fully matted floor, 16 ft. floor boxing ring (with an 18ft competition ring in storage), punch bags and speedballs, a variety of training pads, exercise machines, medicine balls, kettle bells and weights.
Catering for both fighters and non-fighters in equal measure. The club has had a great deal of success on both the national and international kickboxing circuits in recent years, having produced a number of Irish Champions at both junior and senior level, along with a five nations champion and a double world kickboxing and low kick silver medallist.
We have a varied and progressive training programme for both fighters and non-fighters, along with regular beginner courses to help you start the most rewarding martial arts and fitness experience you will ever have.
Whether it’s fitness, weight loss, toning, self-defence or competition you’re after, we can meet your needs and exceed your expectations. Our Kickboxing training offers a complete workout, through exciting and diverse training routines, which will help develop your aerobic and anaerobic fitness, flexibility and general health and well-being.
