Okanagan Kickboxing (Kelowna)

We decided to add kick boxing to the program, because it satisfied various conditions we felt were lacking, particularly in many traditional martial arts schools. Kick boxing can be studied by anyone wishing to simply improve their fitness, lose weight, and enjoy the process in a manner that is enjoyable, and fun - remember all those boring hours on the weights, or treadmill at the gym? NO LONGER!!

For those of you interested in the kick boxing program here at Avatar, ,let me break it down for you. We teach it on two levels.

1, For those students who's desire is simply to get into great shape, this is the place to be. Kick boxing makes a great alternative to the monotony of the gym, and we encourage you to learn the skills of the sport.

Your private lessons are a great way to build your skills, and thereby give you the tools to really work yourself out!! By focussing on improving not only your fitness, but your skill at the sport, you will find your interest persisting longer, and your workouts becoming more intense. Anyone can windmill their limbs, and hop up and down, mimicking movement; do you not think that you would find much more satisfaction from discovering that you actually are hitting harder, and moving with purpose, rather than simply copying a "teacher"?

2, We have a group of students at the school who wish to take their training up a step, and compete. For those students, we also have sparring and contact oriented classes, to prepare your for competition. By no means do we push students to compete, but if that is your desire, then go for it. This fall, we put together a competition team, and have attended several tournaments throughout the winter.
