A TRANSFORMATIVE JOURNEY

At KB Fitness, martial arts isn’t just about kicks and punches. It’s a journey of personal growth, resilience, and transformation. Central to this journey is Chief Instructor Kelly KB, whose expertise and passion for martial arts have inspired countless members to achieve their best.

When students first join the school, they train under the guidance of dedicated KB Senior Instructors Dee and Jess, as well as KB Instructors Jane, Beth, Ryan and Zuzanna, using lesson plans meticulously crafted by Kelly. This ensures every student builds a solid foundation in KB Kickboxing. However, as members begin their grading journey – starting with the preparation for their KB White Belt – they experience the unique opportunity to train directly under Kelly.

For KB members, training with Kelly is an honour and represents a significant milestone in their journey. Members preparing for their first kickboxing belt are required to attend three classes with Kelly to refine their skills and boost their confidence for the grading. These classes are renowned for their intensity, focus, and encouragement, helping students elevate their martial arts techniques and mindset.

Higher-grade students, who train with Kelly regularly, describe the experience as transformative. Beth shares: “Kelly’s classes take training beyond the physical and encompass the mind, spirit, and body. Joining Kelly’s classes transformed how I trained and are where martial arts became part of my soul.”

For many, Kelly’s classes mark a turning point in their martial arts journey. Ryan reflects: “Training with Kelly takes your fitness to a whole new level! She’s the direct line to the school’s kung fu lineage, and it’s great fun to play with more advanced ideas in your training.”

Phoebe highlights the motivational boost: “Training with Kelly gives a huge boost to your determination. You get such great encouragement and you notice a big improvement in your abilities!”

For members who’ve progressed to higher grades, the sense of growth is profound. Neil remarks: “Training directly with Kelly transforms you. The lesson plans get more advanced, your technique is honed, and your fitness improves. Once you start Kung Fu as well, it adds a whole new dimension to your kickboxing training.”

Alice shares a deeply personal perspective: “From the moment I joined Kelly’s training, my determination and motivation to achieve my first belt (and more) was super boosted! She taught me more than just kickboxing; she taught resilience and perseverance. I push myself a little bit more each time.”

Hafiza credits Kelly’s classes with refining her movements: “Joining Kelly’s classes has helped me to recognise any mistakes I’ve made and has helped immensely in my kickboxing journey. The sense of achievement after each class is always worth it, and you always want to do better.”

Victor summarises the multifaceted benefits of training with Kelly: “Kelly’s classes turbo-boost your kickboxing skills such as your fitness, speed, and technique. But you’ll also find new levels of resilience, self-belief, confidence, and a sense of accomplishment that you’d never have thought possible.”

The camaraderie and mutual encouragement among students are also central to the experience. Nick reflects: “I really value the relationships and camaraderie with the other students – especially when you partner up with people for a grading! The other big reason to give Kelly’s classes a try is that it’s a genuine pleasure and privilege to be Kelly’s student. She really cares about everyone’s progress.”

Zuzanna adds: “When you join Kelly’s classes, you’ll notice the drills are more advanced and the combinations are longer, but very soon the higher intensity will feel like second nature. Kelly is not only a great instructor who’ll help you improve your fitness and technique, but also a wonderful mentor who’ll teach you how to push harder than you knew you could.”

Members unanimously agree that Kelly’s dedication and genuine care for each of her students set her classes apart. Fredi calls it “a step change in your training and in forming the KB mindset of ‘yes I can!’”

Kelly herself offers words of encouragement: “If you’re keen to be the best martial artist you can be, moving up to my classes and following the grading route is the best path. And whether you choose to grade or not, relish the fact that you’re able to train at all – it’s a true gift.”
