Proudly Introducing Thai Kickboxing By Jacqueline Walters
These classes are conducted at our fully-renovated High Performance Studios, incorporating strengthening, conditioning and the fundamentals of Kickboxing!
🥊 Learn the Art of 8 Limbs in this 6-week Thai Kickboxing class. Heighten your cardio, improve your strength, and learn how to introduce elbows, knees and kicks into your combative arsenal of traditional boxing strikes.
🥊 Balance is crucial to one’s efficiency when striking with the lower body, so we work extensively on enhancing core strength with balance-based body-weight strength training. Partner pad work will help you learn how to strike on target with strength and proper format.
🥊 Can’t kick to the head yet? This program also works on your flexibility. It also focuses on progressive learning, so basic skills become the building blocks for more complex combinations.
🥊 As a member of the national team and an A-Level international referee, Jacqueline will teach you the basic combos used by Team Canada. Mixed-level class allows for novice and experienced participants. Take your boxing skills to the next level, or try it out for the very first time. All welcome.

Hi everyone.
Hope all’s well and you’re ready for class tomorrow. Looking forward to our next session with some knees and elbows. BTW, if you have a mouthguard, feel free to bring it.
More importantly, please make sure you’re feeling healthy and free from any of the symptoms of Covid-19. This includes anyone in your household.
Also, as mentioned in class, the next Kickboxing session will be building on the basics learned so far. Remember to sign up to secure your spot. And to join the Kingsway Boxing What’s App Client group, let me know tomorrow in class and I’ll give you the details.
See you all tomorrow!

Hi Thai Kickboxers.
Great class last week. Hope you’re ready to do it again. We’ll be kicking it up a notch this week so make sure you bring all your equipment with you. Mask, gloves, wraps, water, towel and major attitude!!
We’ll start working with pads for those of you who feel comfortable with it…coz hitting something is so much better than hitting air!
See you Wednesday at 6:00. Please come wrapped, dressed and ready to roll.
