Community feedback


Josh and Kitty have been so great to learn under, the club feels more like a family than any other club. I think that’s due to how much effort and passion the instructors put into it. I’ve learned so much and would recommend the club to anyone!

I cannot recommend Sanda Kickboxing Academy highly enough. Joshua and Kitty are inspiring and enthusiastic teachers who have moved my Kung Fu, Tai Chi and Sanda forward greatly since I joined the club. They provide a unique blend of technique, practical application and fitness.

I love training at Sanda Kickboxing Academy. It is a very friendly and welcoming martial arts club and is founded by two highly knowledgeable instructors. As well as a great workout and improving body mobility, Josh and Kitty break down the movements and teach the practical applications. This for me is the crucial difference between Wushu Fight Academy and a lot of other Kung Fu clubs.

I would highly recommend Sanda Kickboxing Academy if you are looking to understand, develop and train Tai Chi and/or Kung Fu with practical applications.
