Welcome to RC Southern Kickboxing

Head Instructor - Mrs Rachel Campion 4th Degree Black Belt  

 I started kickboxing in 2003 with PUMA  and loved my first lesson, four years went by and i received my Black  Belt in April 2007. When i started i felt very welcomed and part of a  much loved Martial Art Family. I learnt a great deal from many new  skills, including self defence, punching/kicking, blocking and sparring.  I have met many friends along the way and Kickboxing has helped me feel  more confident about myself, get fitter and become an instructor to  pass on my wealth of knowledge and experiences of Kickboxing.

I  started teaching in 2008 and now run three kickboxing schools in the  southampton area. If you're looking to try something new either to keep  fit or learn a modern martial art then kickboxing is for you. If you  wish to come along to a school then please contact me, myself and my  students will welcome you to the class. Please feel free to bring a  friend or family member, i promise though this will be a great decision  you make and you wont look back.
I  never have and still enjoy training, continuing to learn and develop my  skills whilst teaching/entering competitions and attending camps.

  I was in the local Co-op buying milk and saw an advert for a kickboxing class in sleepy Netley Abbey.  My daughter, who was 8 at the time, was persuaded to come along with me to see what it was all about. The impression of big burly guys beating the bejesus out of each other, was so wrong. The instructor greeted us with a big smile and the rest of the class made us feel very welcome.  There was a young man, must have been about 13/14 and a green belt, he was so committed and showed such skill and enthusiasm.  I thought to myself "I wanted to be like that."

Now, about 6 years later, after much sweat and some tears, I have achieved my dream of a Black Belt and my daughter is a Red Belt. It has been a tough journey, but so worthwhile.  

Along the way I have competed in several tournaments winning Gold and Bronze medals and  several demonstrations at local schools.   

One of the best parts of any martial art is the people you meet, everyone is there to learn and to help others learn. We all have the same goal, we want to learn a new skill, be our best and enjoy ourselves.

Kickboxing has improved my fitness and confidence.  If I ever doubt myself or feel a bit insecure, I think to myself, "I'm a Kickboxer, my friends are kickboxers, we are awesome."
