About Ultimate Kickboxing

This blog is run by Valeria and Sensei Jim at Ultimate Kickboxing in North London.

We have our own professional, fully-matted dojo in New Barnet, close to railway, tube and bus links. We offer tuition to adults and juniors of all ages, experience and fitness levels. We've put together this blog to give readers further fitness and and diet tips to add to their overall training, as well is information about kickboxing/ contact karate and martial arts in general.
