Master Kelly trademarked the name “Fighting For Fitness” over ten years ago, long before the current “cardio kickboxing” fad. FFF draws on Master Kelly’s academic training in anatomy and physical education, as well as his experience as a certified personal fitness trainer helping individuals achieve their fitness goals for over ten years.

There are two primary distinctions between Master Kelly’s FFF and other typical kickboxing programs.

First, FFF teaches biomechanically correct exercises, ensuring that the course’s rigorous repetitive motions will not harm students’ joints or connective tissue. Unfortunately, poorly designed exercises are all too common in the fitness industry, and many avid students of other aerobics programs are unknowingly damaging their joints over time.

Second, unlike some other kickboxing programs in which the kicks and punches only serve to get your body moving, FFF teaches real martial arts techniques. You will learn the proper way to punch and kick effectively, practicing in the air and with punching bags. This means that while you are building cardiovascular endurance, muscular endurance, strength, balance, and flexibility, you will also develop real self-defense skills.

We have lots of fun in FFF getting in shape and building our skills to high-energy music. Please come join us.

If you prefer private training, Martin Kelly will arrange personal training sessions, to assist you in achieving any specific fitness, weight loss, or competition goals you have set for yourself. Coach Kelly has successfully motivated champion martial arts and MMA fighters, as well as people wanting to improve their "bikini" body and health conditions!
