When keeping fit in today’s fast-paced world, flexibility is key. At KB Fitness, we understand that our members lead busy lives, which is why we offer live online classes via Zoom, as well as an extensive archive of recorded sessions. This ensures that whether you’re in London, travelling for work, or simply unable to attend in-person, you can still train and continue progressing in martial arts.
With countless free martial arts and fitness videos available online, you might wonder what sets KB Fitness apart. One of the main differences is live feedback. When you join our live online martial arts classes, our experienced instructors see you in real time, offering corrections, personalised feedback, and motivation – something pre-recorded videos simply can’t provide. Even when training at different times using our recorded archive, members can reach out to KB instructors via email or WhatsApp for guidance. This level of engagement makes a real difference in skill development and progress.
Many members rely on our recorded classes to train over the weekend, boost their fitness, or refine their kickboxing techniques ahead of a grading. Kelly FN appreciates having the classes available whenever needed: “It’s really helpful to have the catch-up KB Kickboxing classes to train during the weekend. Before, I used to have to come up with combinations from memory, now, I can just follow the instructor on the screen and repeat the drills as many times as I want, until I’m super confident.” Similarly, Bess has found the archive invaluable for grading prep: “Before I took my purple belt, I used classes from the years before grading prep or just replayed the previous weeks sessions so I could work on purple belt-specific techniques.”
For those who travel frequently or live outside London, the online option is invaluable. It’s common to see greetings in the chat from members training from across the globe – “Hello from LA!” said Anna last Tuesday. Chris explained how online classes have made it possible for him to keep training despite a demanding work schedule: “Sometimes I have to work late and can’t commute from my office to Euston. Having live online classes means I can take a break from work to train and keep my fitness up, then go back to work straight after.” Others enjoy the convenience of being able to train without the added time spent commuting, as Gabi pointed out: “Is there anything more convenient than working up until class time, training for 2 hours, and then simply being able to hop into the shower and have dinner, without having to commute? I’m so glad Kelly decided to keep the online classes as an added resource after lockdowns were over!”
Gabi is referring to the fact that the online Kickboxing classes were a much-needed resource when the mandatory lockdowns were in effect due to the pandemic in 2020 and 2021. Even after returning to in-person classes, Chief Instructor Kelly KB saw the value of continuing to provide live online training, to the delight of many KB members who still benefit from this perk.
The flexibility of online martial arts training also means members can stay active even during our annual holiday closures. As Sue put it: “We get to train during Christmas break, and bank holidays. It’s a great resource to have as an added perk of the membership, and not all schools offer this.” She also values the ability to stay consistent despite life’s interruptions: “We are so lucky to be able to use catch-up classes for both kickboxing & self-defence. I’m planning to use them over the following weeks to catch up on the many classes I’ve had to miss recently!”
Beyond structured classes, the archive is also useful for those looking for a fitness boost. Ryan mentioned how effective they are for high-intensity training: “Lots of great ones in there – and you can cardio blast by doing every set during the partner work!” Ruth agreed, “It’s great for training at home – keeps you motivated and moving. And you have the luxury of showering straight after class!”
For members preparing for major milestones like a Black Belt grading, the archive has become an indispensable tool. Neil emphasised its importance: “Definitely agree with those who say the online training videos are great for grading prep. They were definitely invaluable for training on weekends in the lead-up to black belt. It’s really useful too if you’re not able to make it into the dojo for whatever reason. What a great resource all round!” Alice echoed this sentiment, adding: “This is why KB is so great, because we can use and reuse all the videos so you can train whenever you want.”
Online classes at KB Fitness aren’t just a temporary solution – they’re an essential part of our martial arts training structure, ensuring that our members never have to miss out. Whether it’s Christmas break, bank holidays, travel abroad, or simply a busy workday, KB members always have a way to train and stay connected to their martial arts journey.
