Gary Davis, the mastermind behind Kaizen, has over 23 years of Kickboxing know-how and holds a 5th-degree black belt. Alongside him, there’s Marc Jenkins with 14 years under his belt and a 3rd-degree black belt.

Kaizen’s training sessions revolve around Kick Shields and Punch Pads, blending techniques from Kickboxing, Muay Thai, and Self Defence. You’ll pick up punches, kicks, elbow and knee strikes, and even how to block a knife attack or escape grabs. Safety and a friendly vibe are top priorities here, so you’re in good hands.
For the younger crowd, Kaizen Tigers classes are perfect. Kids aged 5-16 can train alongside their parents, making it a relaxed and comfortable space. If you're 16 or older, dive into adult classes that mix Kickboxing, Muay Thai, and Self Defence.
