About Us
Kickboxing & Krav Maga
Beyond Fighting is the largest martial arts club in Leeds, offering instruction in Kickboxing, Krav Maga and Self Protection as well as other specialist personal safety courses and combat sports specific fitness training.
The Leeds University Kickboxing and Krav Maga club are Beyond Fighting’s largest and most popular classes. For the past four years, we have been by far the biggest Martial Arts Club at the University and one of the largest of all the sports clubs and societies.
Through both its combat sport and reality-based training programs, the club strives to develop, in a friendly and welcoming training environment, its members’ fitness and well-being as well as their ability to effectively protect themselves and their families from the ever-increasingly violent threats that we face in the modern world. Our style of Krav Maga is a highly efficient, no nonsense approach, focusing on the importance of concepts rather than numerous techniques requiring careful execution in a split second of panic which can be used by anyone regardless of their martial arts experience.
Our club has a friendly atmosphere and encourages a trial training session before joining the club to find out what it is like. All levels of ability are welcomed, and whether you're a complete beginner or a more experienced martial artist, a level of training suited to your standard will be available from professional qualified instructors. So if you're aiming to become an accomplished black belt, a national university tournament champion, or even if you're simply interested in learning a new skill, give it a go-it's all possible!
The club provides dedicated Kickboxing and Krav Maga classes (timetable below)

Socials
This is going to be an unmissable year for the Kickboxing Society and will be filled with some of the best socials and events Leeds University has to offer! As one of our members you can expect the true VIP treatment which will include:
* A trip to the beloved Amsterdam before the laws change and we can no longer enjoy all the things this city is renowned and loved for. So if you want to come and enjoy the nights outs, coffee shops, variety of shows on offer or just want to take in the sights and sounds of the city then make sure you don’t miss this one as it is literally the last time you will be able to enjoy them, so why not do it with a few hundred like-minded students!
* Snow bombing will be the big blow out for the end of second semester and is one of the largest parties in the world. This festival is based in the beautiful Austrian mountains and boosts some of the biggest acts in the world today. This along with some of the best skiing that Europe has to offer means you will probably never go on a better ski holiday, fact!
* The end of year blow out will be to one of the biggest student festival in the country making sure you will see off your mates, old and new, in style.
This along with more drinking games, socials and banter that you can shake a leg at means you will literally be dragged kicking and screaming through one of the best years of your life!
