Founded in 1996 by Alex Barrowman, BCKA (British Chinese Kickboxing Association) was formed with the aim of taking fighters of all skill levels to international competitions. Two decades later BCKA still practices the same ethos, encouraging all who willing to work hard enough for it to compete with the elite. Although new techniques have been added, the core part of the syllabus has stayed the same, giving all students a grounded start to their martial arts career. As the club has grown, it has branched out from it’s Corby home into other UK counties, continuing to enthusiastically teach students, helping them to boost self-confidence, fitness and martial arts techniques. More than just a martial arts association, BCKA is a family of Instructors, coaches and most importantly friends, we are a team who encourage, respect and support each other throughout training and competing.
Combining his knowledge of both Lau Gar Kung Fu and kickboxing, Barrowman went on to create a training syllabus aimed at adapting and developing unique fighting skills, as well as retaining the discipline of martial art. This syllabus was then taught to existing and beginner martial artists, encouraging all skill levels to enter competitions and have the opportunity to compete internationally.
