Training fees and taster sessions
Please ensure you purchase the correct training fees for you. Training fees must be bought along with a membership and a sport Swansea membership. If you have been a member of the club previously and show up to training without these, you WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO TRAIN. New members are welcome to a free week (2 student sessions) before committing to the membership and training fees, to arrange either email/ message on facebook. Once your taster is confirmed you will be sent all relevant details on where to go, what time and what to bring.
Once fees have been paid contact us to be added to the facebook group and messenger where updates and registers will be posted. Or use this link to request to join the group https://www.facebook.com/groups/SUKbc (note you must answer the questions to be admitted)
Booking a session (members)
Once you have purchased the membership and training fees using the ‘club link set up’ link pinned on our closed group you can set up an account on our new booking system club link (a free app available on apple and android stores) where you can book or cancel sessions.
How training is going to work
We ask that students arrive for each session 5-10 minutes early to ensure a prompt warm up to maximise our session time. Students are welcome to bring their own skipping rope to warm up with too, but when there is sufficient light in the evenings we will go for a jog before stretching to warm up.
Bring any kit you have, the essentials being boxing gloves, we have pads and shields at both of our locations that are available to borrow. Full sparring and training kit can also be purchased on: https://twodragonsonline.com/collections/protection-1 or in person at TDMA HQ.
Long hair must be tied back, jewellery removed and the provided uniform worn. A water bottle should be brought to each session

Welcome to SUKB
Welcome to Swansea University Kickboxing club! We’re a competitive and friendly kickboxing club with a huge range of experience in members who all help each other. We pride ourselves on being suitable for all levels of experience from beginners who have never stepped onto the mats before, as well as those who would consider themselves advanced. Competing is completely voluntary and many members don’t compete at all and join us to improve their fitness, learning self-defence and our mix of sober and non-sober socials.
We train in a variety of styles, including points, light continuous (European and American) and occasionally some basic K1. With competitions in points and light continuous styles.
