FIRED UP: THE KB PASSION

Being fired up about something can be both a negative and positive experience. At KB Fitness, martial arts school in London, it is all about the positive aspect.

Our Chief Instructor, Kelly Bunyan (KB), has been training in the martial arts for 40+ years!

She is renowned for her passion – 1000s of her students have claimed over the years that her enthusiasm is infectious. In this image, you can see that the enthusiasm, passion and fire translate into an incredible roar!

The roar can look ominous, but it is quite the opposite. Instead, it is telling of the love that Kelly has for the martial arts and her students.

For Kelly, martial arts training is about far more than learning how to punch, kick, block or defend yourself. It is about helping people discover what they are capable of, building confidence and seeing students achieve things they may once have thought were beyond them.

That passion is at the heart of everything we do at KB Fitness, from KB Kickboxing and KB Self Defence to KB Kung Fu. Whether someone is taking their very first class or working towards their next grading, every achievement matters.

Kelly says: “I teach martial arts to enable others to excel. I care about every single member’s progress, whether they are taught by me directly, or indirectly. The photos reveal how much my school means to me. I literally roar when I’m encouraging them in the final moments of their gradings, or firing them up to be the fastest, sharpest they have ever been. In a unique way, I push my students to reach new heights and combined, we reach a new level of pride. The martial arts move me, I still scream, ‘phwooarrrrrr,’ (never been able to spell that noise that comes out of me) when they throw a sharp kick or punch.”

And that passion isn’t just something you see from the instructors. It runs through the whole KB community. Members encourage one another, celebrate each other’s progress and share in those moments when someone achieves something they have worked hard for.

“Kelly’s passion keeps us motivated and excited about the next challenge and about proving to ourselves how much we can achieve.” – Surbhi

“In a world where so much can be about routine, it’s refreshing to have a safe space to feel and express this kind of passion.” – Yas

There is a great mix of smiles and laughter. There is hard work, determination and plenty of noise too!

If you’re looking for martial arts in London where you can learn, get fitter, build confidence and become part of a supportive community, come and experience the passion for yourself.
