I have trained at the VUW kickboxing club since 2003. Since then I have thoroughly enjoyed all the various pleasures that have gone with it.

Hayley Landy – Lab Technician – NZ Champion

Initially I started Muay Thai because I wanted to be like Peekay from the ‘Power of One’, but there were no boxing clubs which suited my timetable. So Muay Thai was really my second choice. But now, like Peekay, I am a Welterweight Champion.

Meenal Prasad— Team leader Legal Services

I tend to try a lot of different things and usually lose interest in them pretty quickly and move on to new projects. This hasn’t happened with kickboxing though. I’ve been training with the VUW Kickboxing club for two and a half years now and I still enjoy every training session.
