Kuk Sool Won of Bathgate and Livingston Martial Arts

Mastering kicks is a core part of martial arts.

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced student, everyone learns the same fundamental kicks.

As you advance through the belt system, continuous repetition is what makes your kicks stronger, sharper, and highly effective.

Check out these three fantastic examples of students putting their training to the test with board breaks:

Student 1 (Beginner level): Demonstrated excellent control and technique by executing a solid spin kick.

Students 2 and 3 (Intermediate level): Showcased increased power and precision by breaking a tougher target with high spin kicks.

All proving their exceptional balance and mechanics by successfully snapping a board.

No matter the difficulty, every great break starts with those early, basic drills!

For tips on building your leg control and power for both beginner and advanced kicks book in your free trial class now.

From the sidelines to the mats! 👊

Around six months ago, Kirsty and Alan were watching their own kids train from the sidelines and decided they’d rather be a part of the fun!

On Saturday, they didn't just join in—they absolutely smashed it!

After a grueling 2-hour testing, both of them successfully broke their boards to earn their Yellow Belts! 💪

Watching your kids inspire you to start your own journey is what martial arts is all about. We are so incredibly proud of your hard work, dedication, and this amazing performance. Give Kirsty and Alan a massive congratulations. 👏

If you’d like to train with your kids, we have space in our family class. Drop us a message to get booked in.

Never judge a martial artist by their size. At just six years old, he faced his toughest challenge yet for his next belt: the board break.

Attempt one? Close, but no. Attempt two? Still solid. But look at his eyes right here. He doesn't cry. He doesn't quit. He takes a deep breath, resets his focus, and finds his power.

Boom! Absolute determination. It is not about falling down; it is all about getting back up.

We build martial artists 💪

For everyone attending the Scottish Tournament today, we are in hall 2 at Winchburgh Xcite so the doors at the rear of the building, where the food vans will be located, will be the most convenient for access throughout the day.

We hope everyone has a great day and best of luck to everyone testing this morning and competing this afternoon.

Less than a week to go before WKSA Scottish Championships is in full swing.

On the Friday we are lucky to have Donald and his team from Rogue Coffee Bean attending the event at our dojang in Bathgate to keep everyone hydrated with his hot and cold drinks and sweet treats.

On Saturday Donald will be back to top up everyone’s caffeine levels throughout the day and we will be joined by ‘Big Donald’s’ who will keep all testers, competitors and their families full with his selection of hot food (filled rolls, burgers, hot dogs and chips with various toppings).

Proud to continue to support local businesses.
