LinkArts Kickboxing & Fitness is now based at The Harringay Club (YMCA) in Crouch End, North London. We run kickboxing classes for beginners, intermediates and advanced students, so if your goal is to achieve general fitness, self-defence, competition training or to feel confident within yourself, our classes are designed to provide holistic benefits. Our curriculum has been carefully designed so that students can divide their LinkArts kickboxing journey into three levels of learning:
In the beginning the student follows the teachings of the instructor precisely. He/she concentrates on how to perform the techniques, without worrying too much about the underlying theory. The student gains his grounding in the core principles and teachings of LinkArts; he concentrates on just the one way his sensei teaches him.
At this point the student begins to branch out. With the basic techniques working he now starts to learn the underlying principles and theory behind the techniques. He also starts learning from other instructors and integrates that learning into his practice.
Now the student isn't learning from other people, but from his own practices & techniques. He creates his own approaches by using previously learned techniques to develop a more individual style. It is also important that at this stage the correct mental attitude is evident in the student’s approaches.
