Ahd’s story
Ahd Mohamed has been training kickboxing for four years — long enough to know exactly what the sport has given her beyond fitness.
The first thing she talks about is the personal side. Kickboxing taught her how to control her emotions and how to deal with situations under pressure, lessons that carry straight into everyday life. Training also brought her new friendships and new things to learn along the way.
Her story is a good answer to anyone who wonders whether martial arts is "for them". Four years in, the reasons she keeps showing up are confidence, calm under pressure and the people around her. Women can start in our women-only Female Kickboxing class with a female coach, or train in the mixed classes.
