Martial Arts Awareness & Fitness Conditioning (Kickboxing • Mobility • Breathwork)

From 35 £ /h

Build confidence, conditioning, and practical skills through a structured blend of kickboxing fundamentals, martial arts awareness, and strength & mobility work. Each session follows a simple flow: warm-up & mobility → stance/footwork → striking mechanics (jab, cross, hook, kick) → padwork & timing drills → conditioning & core → breathwork & cooldown. You’ll learn safe technique, distance control, simple combinations, awareness and de-escalation principles, posture & core stability, and recovery strategies you can use outside the gym. Sessions are supportive, SEND-aware, and scalable—low-impact options for beginners and progressions for improvers.

The Apefoo Philosophy (Mind • Body • Soul)

Mind (Composure): Train focus before force—breath-led resets, clear cues, and “one change at a time.” We build calm under pressure and decision-making you can take into daily life.

Body (Capability): Technique > power. We groove efficient movement, joint-friendly mechanics, and longevity through mobility and smart progressions.

Soul (Character): Respect, humility, and responsibility. We practice a low-ego, inclusive culture—pace yourself, look after partners, leave better than you arrived.

Awareness First: Self-protection begins with avoidance, de-escalation, and exit. Striking is a skill; judgment is the art.

Simple Systems, Real Progress: Short, repeatable drills; measurable wins each month (skills, conditioning, mobility, mindset).

Sustainable Training: No fads—just fundamentals you can keep. Sleep, hydration, and recovery are part of the curriculum.

Accessible & Supportive: Clear instructions, visuals/Now-&-Next when helpful, and options for different abilities and comfort levels.

Who it’s for: Beginners to improvers seeking confidence, fitness, and practical skills in a friendly, structured environment.

Outcomes: Safer, sharper striking mechanics; better conditioning and core; improved mobility and posture; calmer breathing under effort; and a clear progression plan you can track.

Extra information

Wear comfortable training kit and indoor trainers (or barefoot), bring water and a small towel. Gloves/pads provided for intro sessions; bring your own if you have them. Please inform me of any injuries or medical considerations before we start.

About Me

I’m Fazal, a calm, results-focused teacher and coach with 12+ years’ experience in Functional Skills Maths & English (Entry–L2), study skills, and SEND-aware tuition. I run Apefoo Training, where I share practical strength, conditioning, and skill-building methods from my background as a climber, martial artist, and educator. I teach with a simple cycle: diagnose → teach the method → practise with real tasks → clear feedback and next steps.

I specialise in teens and adults (including ASD/ADHD/SpLD). Sessions are structured but friendly, with visuals, Now & Next, chunked tasks, and—where helpful—assistive tech like Read&Write, Immersive Reader, mind-mapping, dictation, and BKSB. Online or West London in-person, you’ll get plain-English explanations, targeted practice, and measurable progress toward Level 2 and real-world goals.

My three main areas of expertise (not necessarily in this order):

- Chess: I teach chess to beginners and intermediate players up to ELO 1800 or ECF 1700, working on the tactical and strategic aspects of openings, middle games and endgames.. "chess is life in miniature"!

- Fitness / Running / Triathlon: I coach people who want to get fitter and generally incorporate any endurance activity into a health(ier) lifestyle. I am a dedicated coach who has competed in several marathons and Ironman races (also qualified for the Ironman World Championship). I focus on nutrition, stress and sleep as well for a holistic approach.

- Languages: I specialize in tutoring Italian and Spanish; my style is to keep students challenged and motivated through simple classes and practical exercises (pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary).. I'm a demanding teacher but will guide you in a fun and interactive way.

Please contact me if you have any interest in spending more time and energy in any of these 3 areas, and don't forget that "Mens Sana in Corpore Sano" is a good approach to look after yourself :)

Rhythmic gymnastics is a unique sport combining physical strength with an art component.
Rhythmic gymnastics is very versatile. You learn how to be in full control of your body, how to balance, turn, jump and coordinate apparatus work, which include rope, hoop, ball, clubs and ribbon. Therefore, classes are never boring.

My lessons are individually designed depending on clients' aims. I work with different ages and abilities. Lessons would usually include a warm-up, ballet exercises, apparatus handling (rope, hoop, ball, clubs, ribbon) and routine corrections (for competitive students).

Depending of the spaces (Webcam or on location) the class would differ.
My main aim is for people to have access to a system of learning through which they can absorb and understand a practice that they could then bring with them wherever and whenever they want.
My way of teaching involves for the moment 17 different chapter, involving improvisation tools (Movement), theatre exercises, stretching and fitness.
All the classes are customised according to the students needs and objectives.
