Training For Knowledge In The Mind, Honesty In The Heart & Strength In The Body

Paragon Kickboxing is the main style taught at Paragon Academy. The system takes an eclectic view to Martial Arts and is based on the 25 years Martial Arts experience of Paragon Chief Instructor Jason Dorn.

Paragon Kickboxing is a combination of various styles of Kickboxing, Western Boxing, Freestyle Karate & Tae Kwon Do.  However it definitely should not be seen as a 'best bits of' system.  At its core is the concept of Adopt, Adapt & Evolve allowing students to explore techniques, tactics and strategies and develop their own identities within a framework of guiding principles. 

On a physical level Fitness is introduced and developed at a pace to suit each individual. Actual physical skills include stances, footwork, body movement, kicks, strikes, punches, locks and take downs.

Although physical skills are of course important, personal development is too. The ultimate aim alongside physical skills and fitness is to achieve Knowledge in the mind, Honesty in the heart & Strength in the body, by achieve this we actually mean UNDERSTAND what it actually means, something very much lacking in much of martial arts today!

Paragon Kickboxing has proved itself as an effective method of fighting in Semi, Light & Full Contact competition and where it matters the most…….The Street!
