Kick Boxing

About Us

UCC Kickboxing Club is one of the largest martial arts clubs in UCC. The club operates under the KBI (Kickboxing Ireland) and our members have gone on to represent the university at both national and international levels.

At our training sessions you can get the opportunity to try continuous and point sparring and learn useful self-defence techniques. We took home over 25 medals have had a lot of medal success at the Intervarsities each year, and several fighters go on to Irish Open competitions each year.   

Whilst it is always amazing to see our club members take part in competitions, UCC Kickboxing Club is first and foremost a place where you get the opportunity to push yourself and do whatever makes you feel comfortable, whether that involves sparring or just taking part to improve your mental and physical health. Here at UCC Kickboxing Club, we believe that kickboxing is for everyone, regardless of experience.

Our training sessions are open to everyone, from absolute beginners to seasoned fighters. Here you can learn new techniques, improve your fitness, and most importantly make new friends. We try our best to make sure that everyone feels welcome at our club and our social events outside of training and competitions are a great way to get to know the committee as well as meet fellow club members.

We as a club are passionate about giving back to the wider community outside of UCC Clubs and Societies and each year UCC Kickboxing Club hosts a fight night to raise money for a chosen charity. This is always an incredibly fun night for everyone involved. Taking place in Devere Hall, the fight night features contestants from both our club as well as the other martial arts clubs in UCC going head-to-head in continuous sparring. Whether you have been training for years or simply for a few weeks, our fight night is a great way to get a taste for sparring, have some fun and help to raise money for charity.

So, whether you want to learn how to fight, get active or simply take a break from college work, come to one of our training sessions and see for yourself the benefits of getting involved with UCC Kickboxing Club!
