NO, you definitely do not need a partner to join! It is true that the kickboxing portion of our class is mostly done in pairs; however most students sign up as individuals and you will have no trouble finding a suitable to partner when the time comes. Our instructors are always at the front of the class to help pair students up when needed. Kickboxing is a great way to meet new people and make new friends.
Yes, you can join ANYTIME! Our programs run all year long with continuous intake and/or frequent start dates. To receive automatic notification about new courses you can also subscribe to our newsletter. The subscription area is located on the bottom right hand corner of our homepage.
The only mandatory equipment you'll need for Boot Camp and Level 1 is a skipping rope. We have high quality ropes for sale (however, we do not require that you purchase your rope from Kwest Kickboxing).
Level 2 students are also required to have headgear, 16 or 18 ounce gloves, shin pads and a mouth guard for technical drills and sparring.
Please wear comfortable workout clothing. Shorts, sweat pants, yoga pants, t-shirts and tank-tops are all fine. Please avoid profanity or other offensive content on your clothing. Out of respect for Kwest Kickboxing and our Kru and instructors, please avoid logos, names, etc of other martial arts schools in the city on your clothing.
Our online payments are done through PayPal. Student fees and equipment can be purchased through our online store. You can also make payments by sending money directly from your PayPal account to kwestkickboxing@gmail.com

Kwest Kickboxing does sometimes hold Kids Courses.
If you are interested in kids courses, please email us. Inquiries let us gauge interest and determine when it is time to hold another Kids Course. You can also sign up on our homepage for our newsletter to receive announcements about new courses.
We do require that all new students, regardless of past training, take at least one Orientation session with one of our instructors. This allows us to gauge the abilities of the student and how they will fit into our club. All clubs do things a little differently and for safety reasons as well as the benefit of all students, it is important for us to make sure that new students are comfortable with our methods and techniques.See more information here.
We run our club out of the River Osborne Community Centre at 101 Pembina Highway - right at Confusion Corner. See our map for reference.
The Community Centre has a small parking lot to the south west of the building that has several spots available. This parking lot is accessed through the back alley off of Corydon. There is limited parking on the side street to the north east of the building and more parking on the streets nearby. The Burger King/Dollorama/etc parking lot across the street has a lot of available parking and no one has been ticketed or towed from there in the 7 years we have been at ROCC; however we cannot "guarantee" that.
DO NOT park in the staff parking area located in the "nook" on the north side of ROCC; in the fire lane of the side street north of ROCC; or in the Wild Planet or auto mechanic parking lots next door - there is a very good chance you will be ticketed and/or towed.
You can contact us by emailing info@kwestkickboxing.com or by calling 995-KICK (5425)
No, due to space restrictions, we do not at this time have personal lockers for students. All personal equipment and belongings should be brought into the gym rather than left in the change rooms so that they are safe.
The Basic Training course and the Level 1 class do not involve any person-to-person contact. We make every effort to ensure our students' safety by stressing proper training before joining our Level 1 classes, and proper technique at all times. Our instructors are always available to help pair students up with appropriate, safe partners for them and to oversee classes as they go on.
Level 2 is an advanced class and it focuses on the martial art and all that you need to know. The descriptions of our Levels for more information on the differences between Level 1 and Level 2.
Please note that while we do make every effort to avoid injury of any kind and to create a safe and welcoming environment, this is a very physical sport and minor bumps and bruises as well as injuries can occur from time to time, as is common with most physical activities. Everything possible is done to avoid injury.
NO, absolutely not. Our instructors are here to help you, not hurt or intimidate you. We see people of all ability levels and do our very best to work with you where you are now. Your goals are important to us and we will push you to reach them in a comfortable, friendly and encouraging way.
No. However, we may be able to transfer you to one of our other programs so please talk to us if this is the case. See our policies page for more information on refunds.
