WINTER MOTIVATION

In the heart of London, KB Fitness is not only a place to learn KB Kickboxing, KB Self-Defence and KB Kung Fu, but a thriving community united by shared passion and positivity. This winter, as the days grow shorter and the demands of work and life intensify, KB members are doubling down on what they love. Making time to train is more than just physical exercise; it’s a chance to embrace a positive mindset, and many members are sharing what drives them to keep coming back to martial arts training, no matter how busy life gets.

Ryan, KB Kickboxing Black Belt and KB Kung Fu Black Sash, captured a sentiment shared by many: “I love that every week is different—even after years in the school I’m still learning new ideas and adding to the KB toolbox.” This spirit of continual learning and improvement is echoed by many others, who find in their training a much-needed balance to the stresses of daily life.

Kelly FN, who has been training in the martial arts with KB for 10 years, shared, “There are so many things I love about training at KB. What Ryan said—there’s always something new to learn—is definitely one of them. I love that KB classes are a nice break from the stresses of everyday life, and that positivity of everyone in the dojo is so infectious. Inside the KB dojo, everyone looks out for one another. We celebrate each other’s progress, and after more than 25 years, Kelly and Dee are there for us every week, giving their everything to help us become better martial artists and better people.”

For Jess, the dojo is a sanctuary from the chaos of the outside world. “I love the flow state we enter during training. The outside world and all its problems recede, and we can just focus on the moment,” she says. “It’s so wonderful to be in a community like ours.”

This sense of escape and focus, which allows members to leave their troubles at the door, resonates across the school. Ruth notes, “KB classes, whether it’s Kickboxing, Self Defence or Kung Fu, are a break from whatever else is going on, where we can focus very much on the moment! And that everyone else in the room is also part of that, supporting each other!”

For Phoebe, who initially struggled with motivation, the support of the community made all the difference. “When I first started, I wasn’t sure how to motivate myself. But once you’re in the dojo, everyone helps you, no matter what level you are!”

The sense of camaraderie that defines KB Fitness is essential to maintaining motivation during the winter months. Neil sums it up beautifully: “I love the friendship, the sense of improvement, the endorphin high from training, and the ability to leave any troubles from the outside world behind.”

The positivity shown by KB Fitness members demonstrates the importance of making time for what we love, especially during the busiest times of the year. Through each martial arts class, KB students lift one another up, celebrating personal victories and pushing through the season with determination and a shared passion for martial arts.
