Classes run year-round, including throughout the school holidays — there are no long shutdowns, so you can keep your momentum going every week of the year.
Kickboxing for every reason
- Get fit & lose weight. High-intensity rounds on the bags and pads burn serious calories while toning your whole body. See cardio kickboxing.
- Learn real technique. Sharp jabs, crosses, hooks and roundhouse kicks taught properly, K1-style, in our technique classes.
- Build confidence. Standing tall, moving well and knowing you can handle a tough round does wonders for your head as well as your body.
- Kids classes. Fun, focus and fitness for children — and they earn Children's University credits while they train. See kids kickboxing.
Two ways to train
Kickboxing at Total Combat splits neatly into two paths, and plenty of members do both. The cardio and fitness side is all about the workout: relentless pad and bag combinations, conditioning drills and a cool-down, with no one throwing punches back at you. It is the friendliest possible way to get fighting fit, and it is brilliant for weight loss and stress relief. Read more on the cardio kickboxing page.
The technique and sport side teaches you how to actually strike — stance, footwork, defence, and clean K1-style combinations on the pads. Sparring is available for those who want it, but it is always optional and controlled, never compulsory. Explore the full menu on the classes and timetable page. Both paths are mixed classes where men and women train together, which is completely normal in kickboxing and exactly how everyone gets better.
Try either path free — book your trial.
New to kickboxing? Start here
If you have never thrown a punch in your life, you are in exactly the right place. You do not need to be fit, young, or coordinated to start — every drill scales to your level, and our coaches are used to looking after nervous first-timers. Nobody is judging your fitness, your kit or your technique on day one. We will show you where to stand, how to make a fist, and how to keep breathing, and the rest comes with practice.
Our beginners guide walks you through exactly what happens in your first class, what to wear, and the worries almost everyone has before they walk in.
Where we are
We are based in Southport, easy to reach from across Sefton and the wider Merseyside coast. Members travel in from Churchtown and Ainsdale, down through Birkdale, and across from Crosby, Ormskirk and Formby for their weekly rounds. Whether you are searching for "kickboxing near me" from a PR8 postcode or driving in from a little further out, you will find us welcoming, well-equipped and easy to park near. Full directions are on the contact page.
Why train with us
Our coaches are qualified, experienced and genuinely approachable — the kind of people who remember your name in week two and notice when your jab sharpens up. The gym itself is properly kitted out, with heavy bags, focus pads, a ring and matted training space, so you train on real equipment from the start rather than shadow-boxing in a corner.
Most of all, this is a friendly, non-intimidating place to train. We welcome all ages and abilities, from teenagers and parents to shift workers and retirees. Women train in every single lesson alongside the men, and in a mixed class that is simply normal and effective — nobody bats an eyelid, and everyone improves faster for it.
