Tom Sheppard – North Island Kickboxing Champion 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. I first started kickboxing as a practical means of self-defence, as I was informed by a close friend that it is the most “street” applicable striking martial art one could learn. As my skill set and experience increased, along with my confidence in the club and trainers, I decided that I would try my hand at competitive fighting. Since then I have never looked back, and have continued to train and develop my skills as the years progress. I have tried many sports in my time, but none are as physically demanding and satisfying as kickboxing. While you ultimately determine how far you push yourself at each training session, the training template is set in such a way that people of all skill levels can potentially push themselves to their physical limits.

These days there are many kickboxing classes and gyms out there, as the sport has gained global recognition for its fitness benefits. However, not all trainers and classes are the same, and there is a huge amount of disparity between the various different classes that are currently out there. At VUW, you can definitely rest assured with the knowledge that the gym you are attending is of a top international standard, which constantly revises its training technologies and strategies in order to maximize the benefits for its students. On top of this, there is a strong community and family feel to it, which is very inviting to newcomers and a great environment from which to make new friends. How much you get out of the sport is up to you, but whether you are seeking fitness, self defence or competition, Muay Thai kickboxing is the sport for you, and VUW is the best place to do it. |
