Upper belts who attend the advanced class on Friday at 6pm at the KMMA Academy get the opportunity to take what we learn in our regular kickboxing classes and apply it in actual semi-contact sparring. This is the class where we teach you how to use all the skills you’ve acquired, how to attack and defend yourself and where you really get to practise for the sparring element of the gradings for Brown 1, 2 & 3.

Here’s quite a few photos of the class, (including Karl getting hit by a girl):

Semi – Contact Kickboxing is the most practised form of completive kickboxing practised worldwide.
Each round is set to run a specified amount of time one minute and thirty seconds is the general rule. Each opponent must score as many points as possible to win, each time a point is scored the match is stopped and the points are awarded to the fighter. 1 point for a punch to the head or the body, 1 point for a kick to the body, 2 points for a kick to the head, 2 points for a jumping kick to the body, and three points for a jumping kick to the head.
