Veteran coach and former world champion Billy Murray tests his students through a variety of games that incorporate the use of kickboxing manoeuvres and skills.
“We started the Prokick Says day with the aim of doing something different to the younger members of the gym, to eliminate any stress that may come with our grading system. So the kids are being graded without feeling any pressure.
"They don’t see it as a test they see it as an occasion to have a laugh and step outside their disciplined class for a day and have FUN.”
On top of having a good time and passing grades, the teeny-tiny kickboxers get special one-to-one coaching from some of Prokick’s champions, including Gary Hamilton, Stuart Jess, Mark Bird and Ian Young.
WKN World Kickboxing Champion Gary Hamilton said: “I look forward to the Prokick Says fun day because it’s a release from training for me too and I understand that it helps the kids,
"I was a ProKick Kid once, as I was 14 years of age when I started at the gym. The response from the students make it worthwhile getting out of bed for on a Saturday morning to see their happy smiling faces!”
