Chief Instructor Carl Denne says: “The purple and blue grades have to endure a four hour assessment of non-stop workouts, drills, pad sessions, sparring and combat work, they are really put through their paces and at the end are completely shattered, knowing if they pass they have really earned it.

“HKA has been growing for years now and for me its great to see martial arts and kickboxing becoming a major part in so many people’s lives. I’m incredibly thankful to have so many positive, strong, friendly, skilled and like-minded people around me”
