Kickboxing is a young sport that originated from the classic sports of karate, tae kwon do and boxing. Kickboxing was designed for competitive sports and therefore follows a strict set of rules. Technically, it is therefore limited to various kicking and punching techniques, prohibited are, for example, throws, levers, ground fighting, attacks on the back of the opponent or below the belt.
Kickboxing also distinguishes different forms of competition such as pointfighting, light and full contact, as well as kickboxing lowkick and K1. In the university sport we train exclusively light contact, whereby we attach particular importance to precise and controlled execution of the techniques. Who wants to "fight" is wrong with us!

In the beginner's training, the basic techniques such as straights, hooks, front, side and roundhouse kicks as well as evasive movements and parries are practiced within three months. Towards the end, the techniques are linked to combinations to also get a feel for rhythm and fast, fluid movement. It also builds basic fitness and agility.

The courses Beginner 1 and Beginner 2 are parallel courses. After successful completion of the course there is the possibility to change to the advanced course.

Depending on the level of training and the number of participants, not every beginner can be guaranteed a place in the advanced course.

Outsiders who want to join the advanced course have to contact me by mail (at least 4 weeks) before the start of the booking. The number of participants is very limited due to the size of the hall.

In the advanced training the techniques are deepened in combination and supplemented by further kick variants as well as counters. In addition, sparring is used to train for competitions.

The training also includes demanding, drill-like strength endurance training as well as stretching units.

Unfortunately, there are no university championships in kickboxing, but we organize participation in open tournaments of various associations if interested.

We also organize joint training with the Tae-Kwon-Do group from time to time, training at the quarry pond, ...
