Limitless Martial Arts is Southampton's leading kickboxing gym, with multiple beginner-friendly kickboxing classes running every day of the week. Whether you're searching for kickboxing near me in Southampton, K1-style kickboxing in SO14, or striking classes in Hampshire, our timetable has something that fits around work and family life. Members travel in from Shirley, Bitterne, Portswood, Bevois Valley, Woolston and Bassett - Empress Road is easy to reach by car (free parking), bike or bus.
We coach a modern, athletic style of kickboxing built on solid boxing fundamentals plus low kicks, body kicks, head kicks, knees and clinch work. You'll drill on pads, focus mitts and heavy bags, with proper rounds, proper recovery and qualified coaches watching every rep.
Kickboxing for fitness, self-defence or competition
Most members start kickboxing in Southampton purely for fitness - it's one of the highest-calorie workouts you'll ever do, and it's far more engaging than the treadmill. Others want to learn real self-defence: how to throw a clean shot, how to move their head, how to stay calm under pressure. A smaller group competes on the regional and national circuit, and we have an interclub and competition pathway for anyone who wants it (it's never required).
Adults kickboxing & ladies kickboxing in Southampton
Our adult kickboxing classes are mixed and beginner-friendly - you'll see total beginners drilling alongside experienced strikers. We also have a strong contingent of women training kickboxing at Limitless, and several of our coaches are female. If you've been looking for ladies kickboxing classes in Southampton in a gym where you'll genuinely feel comfortable, come in and try a session on your free 7-day trial.
