Welcome to Southampton Solent University Kickboxing Club official website. Here holds information about the club such as where training sessions are located and a year plan. Also there is an online training section where there is a four week training programme including video clips. This is for students who cannot make the first 4 weeks and/or students that would like to try kickboxing before attending the training sessions. But students who attend all training sessions can use the online training for extra assistance.
