HKA is not just a gym that churns out fighters, we help members gain confidence, develop their fitness and achieve success in grading and competitions.

At the club we hold grading three times a year and are one of the few clubs in East Sussex that is externally graded by R.C.U.K. (Ring Combat UK).

HKA has been training at William Parker Sports College for many years in their fully equipped gym, which boasts over 5000sqft floor space with a matted area of over 2000sqft. The gym has the advantage of being fully heated and having air conditioning to help to maintain comfortable temperature in all weather conditions.

It has a large male and a female changing room plus free parking for 200 cars. HKA is the longest established and most qualified kick boxing academy in Hastings and is growing from strength to strength in every possible way.

Carl is heavily involved with schools and community centers throughout the local area. He promotes healthy, active living with a focus on fitness, as well as supporting anti-bullying ethics by working with children of all ages to build self-confidence. In the last 2 years, HKA has produced a ringmaster, British and 5 nations Title holder, along with a bronze and silver world medalist.

HKA have had many bouts over the last year, and were still proud to hold around a 70% success rate,

If you want to get fit, lose weight, tone up, as well as make new friends and learn self-defense skills then HKA is the place for you. Any size, shape or fitness level is welcome, and at HKA we’ll tailor things to match your abilities – working with you to build your confidence and achieve your goals at a pace that suits you.

To take it more seriously we have 2 advanced classes, our fighters train in the cardio class to push their fitness to the max, and they also attend the beginner’s sessions to help improve their basics.
