information SERVICE DETAILS

Edinburgh Assassins Kickboxing Club is affiliated to IAKSA Kickboxing Scotland which conforms to the light, semi and full contact competition style of Lau Gar Kung Fu. Kickboxing and kung-fu were brought to Scotland from China by Master Jeremy Yau in 1961.

Our style consists of a combination of explosive kicks and strong hand techniques. As you progress the introduction of open hand, knee and elbow strikes and the use/defence of weapons (mainly the knife, kali sticks, broadsword and staff) will be integrated into your training.

Due to its up to date syllabus (incorporating knife attacks and holds into your training) the style is extremely effective in defence against street attacks.

The tournament side of kickboxing is second to none, providing a platform from club level and Scottish tournaments, going on to national level and advancing to international competition. Within the style, our fighters have won over twenty World Championship medals combined, as well as numerous other gold, silver and bronze medals in the European Championships and other prestigious tournaments.

FAQ's...

Please see https://www.edinburgh-assassins.co.uk/about-us/faq-s.

AM I FIT ENOUGH TO START?

All students begin with exercises at a level to suit them. Due to the sheer level of calories burned you will soon notice a dramatic improvement in your health and wellbeing. Please remember, your teacher was also once a beginner!

IS IT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN?

The style is ideal for children, starting them at a young age (4 years old and up) it will teach them respect, control and confidence. It also gives them a good basis of regular exercise, something that will hopefully be carried through their adult life.
