Why you should join a Women Only Kickboxing class in Birmingham

Why you should join a Women Only Kickboxing class in Birmingham

Importance of physical activity
Physical activity is known to bring about health benefits with substantial evidence that vigorous activity has many more benefits than a moderate activity such as walking would (1). According to the NHS, martial arts (combat sports) are classed as a form of vigorous exercise (2).

Benefits of kickboxing for Women
Kickboxing is a combat sport and has many forms such as Muay Thai and American kickboxing. Training regularly in kickboxing develops long-term physical fitness (3) as well as hand-eye coordination, focus, confidence and self-control.

More women join this martial art due to its many benefits including:

Self defence
Learning kickboxing will equip you with the tools necessary to defend yourself. Confidence, fitness, and new skills are only some of the tools you will gain. You’ll also develop an understanding of when and how to use these techniques to help you escape dangerous situations.

Social aspect
Learning and sweating in a group setting- whether we are distancing or close contact- will allow you to create friends in an ‘all in this together’ friendly environment. You’ll hold each other accountable, giving you that extra push to show up and smash the sessions together!

Discipline
Being present in sessions will allow you to grow as a person and instill confidence and discipline even outside the sessions in your day-to-day life. Developing a stronger mindset will allow you to achieve your goals better.

Are you more comfortable in a female-only environment?
For whatever reason, you feel more comfortable in a women only environment but you can’t find one in your area. We’ve got you covered! Running classes on different days at various times in multiple locations across Birmingham.

So, whether you’re a total beginner or advanced at Kickboxing, you will get the right amount of work and learning!

You find a class but it has a male instructor!!
You’ve just found a class and at the bottom of the page, you’ll see a male instructors name and picture! So much for Women only…

At Safari MMA, we strive to provide a safe learning environment where the male gaze has no place. The hall/gym will be closed off for women only for the hour.

Of course, our instructors are fully qualified kickboxing instructors, first aid trained and DBS checked.

Classes are suited to all levels!
So if you want to get fit and learn self-defence skills, head on over to the Safari MMA website for details on how to book your first ladies-only kickboxing session.

First month is half price! £18 Only. Then £36 from the second month onwards. Offer expires 12th June 2021.

Classes available:

Safari MMA Lockdown 2.0

As we are in throws of another 4 weeks of a National lockdown, it’s seems ever more appropriate to write a Safari MMA blogpost!

If we learnt anything from the UK’s first lockdown, it is that we have all had to learn a new way of life, nothing was as we knew it. At first this was incredibly hard for so many of us, as we were trying to juggle so much change with regards to work, home-schooling, leisure activities and seeing family and friends.  We made it our mission at Safari MMA to create a new way to provide our classes and we spent many late nights making it possible! We enjoyed every small victory win of making this happen, however it wasn’t without its testing times, these were invaluable to us as instructors, staff and a business as a whole as we grew stronger as a team.

We stand by our ethos to unite people from around the world through Martial Arts, regardless of background and culture. We know how important exercise is when it comes to physical and mental health, now living in uncertainty this can have an unwanted affect on all of us in one way or another. This is why we have worked so hard to make sure we can still give you access to all of our Safari MMA classes from your very own home gym via zoom! The UK’S lockdown gave us the opportunity to grow our timetable of classes to! Our weekly schedule now includes Fitnastics, Yoga, Pilates and Kickboxing on top of our Muay Thai classes. I have also used this lockdown to concentrate on my newly launched YouTube channel Khadijah Safari with plenty of Self defence and everyday life tutorials so make sure you check it out, You never know you might learn something new!

One thing we know is that we are all in this together and although there is currently no clear end in sight of these unprecedented and difficult times, we can remain positive that we are all stronger, more aware and resilient than ever before. Lets set ourselves some goals over the next few weeks and come out of this second lockdown with a sense of achievement! What’s you goal going to be?

We’ve got you! Lets do this! 👊
