The adult kickboxing class starts 9th June 2011 at 7:45pm in the Broom Farm Community Centre (SL4 4XW). From the Maidenhead junction of the M4 head towards Windsor and pass the turning for Bray. After the cemetery on the right and the hotel and golf course on your left, turn right and the first left with the pub on the corner, onto the Dedworth Road. After the garden centre turn almost immediately right into the Broom Farm residential estate where you will need to follow signs to the AWS or to Alexander School as the Community Centre is adjacent to these buildings.

The adult kickboxing lessons costs £6 for 45 minutes but if you do not like your first class the fee is refundable. The class will be a mixture of kickboxing, self protection and fitness and is a beginners class. I aim for my classes to be enjoyable and bravado free. People are welcome to train according to their fitness levels and step in and out of the lesson as they desire.

The class is open to anyone aged 12 and above but it is primarily and adult kickboxing class so anyone aged 12 to 16 will need to be accompanied by and adult. 

I hope to see you there but if you have any questions before hand let me know.
