Our Kickboxing classes are designed to make you a well rounded striker for any situation. In the kickboxing classes we try to teach a hybrid style covering strikes and postures from Muay Thai and Boxing. Kickboxing and full contact Karate can be considered to be very similar and its important to say that there is a wide variety of striking arts like these such as Savate, Dutch Kickboxing, Chinese Kickboxing etc. The common theme is that you will be striking in 4 points. Thai Boxing "The art of eight limbs" uses more points of contact similar to MMA
A normal warmup may include SAQ (Strength, Agility & Quickness) drills, plyometrics, skipping and other functional movements. This is followed by a technique portion where we may cover things such as; movement looking at your stance, upper body movements and footwork, drilling guards and defensive techniques, then working on new strikes working on the bags or with a partner with gloves or pads, also looking at tactics for different body types and styles an opponent may have. We put a strong emphasis on technical sparring and once we feel you are ready we normally finish off the sessions with some rounds in a live environment.
Viva offers Mixed Martial Arts, Kickboxing, Submission Wrestling and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes at our gym in Tameside, Manchester. We strongly believe in training alive and remain true to our values of authenticity, honesty and sincerity in all that we do and offer. Many of our members train combat sports with us as a hobby or for fitness, but we also have, and support members who are actively competing in MMA and BJJ, locally in Manchester, nationally and internationally. We always look to leave our ego's at the door because in the gym, on the mats everyone is equal. Rank and Hierarchy play little role in our training we're all referred to on first name terms. You'll never be expected to bow down to anyone nor should you expect anyone to bow down to you, we just have good manners and a light-hearted yet serious approach to training.
We are also proud to be the only gym in Tameside to offer a true Kids MMA and Kids BJJ program this places us at the forefront of Kids Martial Arts in Manchester.

You'll not see our kids in rank and file mindlessly following orders, we don't do kata, it's not how a fight unfolds this isn't Karate, instead we encourage self discipline and self motivation.
