A Weekend of Hard-Earned Success at Our First Grading
This past weekend marked a significant milestone for K1KA Kickboxing Academy as we hosted our very first official grading event for both adults and children. After weeks of intense training, dedication, and personal growth, our students stepped up to showcase their skills, determination, and passion for the art of kickboxing.
A Proud Moment for Our Adult Grading Team
The first-ever K1KA adult grading saw a team of determined individuals put everything they had into their performance. The energy, effort, and technical ability displayed by each student was nothing short of inspiring. Seeing how far they’ve come, both in skill and confidence, made this event truly special.
As their instructor, I couldn’t be prouder of their progress and commitment. Watching them push their limits, support one another, and demonstrate the techniques they’ve worked so hard to refine was a privilege. This grading was not just about achieving a new belt—it was about overcoming challenges, building resilience, and growing together as a team.
Our Junior Grading Team
Our youngest members also took to the mats, proving that hard work and perseverance know no age limits. The junior students performed exceptionally well, demonstrating technical excellence and the spirit of true martial artists. Their discipline, respect, and enthusiasm were on full display, and I was overwhelmed with pride to see them take this next step in their journey.
At K1KA, we strive to foster an environment where children can develop into confident, well-rounded individuals. Watching these young students embrace the values of martial arts—discipline, respect, and perseverance—was a testament to the ethos of our academy.
A Community of Support and Growth
One of the most rewarding aspects of this weekend was the overwhelming sense of camaraderie and encouragement within our academy. We are more than just a martial arts school—we are a family. A heartfelt thank you goes out to our fantastic team, Phil and Alesha, whose dedication and expertise continue to shape and inspire our students.
A special shoutout to one of our adult grading participants, who shared their gratitude:
“Huge thanks to Ian, Phil, and Alesha at K1KA for everything you do for us on a Saturday morning. Red belt grading today and all five of us passed with flying colours, thanks to the excellent coaching provided.”
Looking Ahead
This grading event is just the beginning of many more milestones to come. As we continue to grow, we remain committed to providing a supportive, family-oriented environment where all our students—young and old—can thrive. Congratulations once again to everyone who graded this weekend. You should be incredibly proud of yourselves—I certainly am!
If you’re interested in joining a kickboxing academy that values growth, respect, and community, K1KA is the place for you. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to advance your skills, we welcome you to be part of our journey.
See you all in training!
