See what my students say!
"Chris is a very friendly and approachable kick-boxing coach who takes the time to explain and demonstrate different concepts of the sport.
He puts in effort to get the best out of his students and never makes you feel silly for asking basic questions. Chris takes the time to support and encourage his students regardless of age or ability.
In particular, I enjoy learning new skills with pads before putting them into practise in a sparring scenario. I've learned a lot in the 10 months I've been a student of Elite Kickboxing Academy and would not hesitate to recommend this school to anyone considering taking up the sport."
