IAKSA kickboxing opened its first classes in Scotland over 20 years ago growing to over 20 classes in a variet

y of locations in the country. The first class in Edinburgh opened in 1993 in Portobello town hall under one of IAKSA's head instructers Craig Foster from then it has expanded and now has 2 clubs in Craigentinny and Easter road which now all train and fight as IAKSA Edinburgh Assassins. The success of the clubs is highlighted by the numerous Scottish,Brittish,European and World champions it has produced over the years. Edinburgh Assassins Kickboxing Club is affiliated to IAKSA Kickboxing Scotland which conforms to the light, semi and full contact competition style of Lau Gar Kung Fu.This style of Kickboxing and kung-fu were brought to Scotland from China by Master Jeremy Yau in 1961. Our style consists of a combination of explosive kicks and strong hand techniques. As you progress the introduction of open hand, knee and elbow strikes and the use of weapons (mainly the knife, kali sticks, broadsword and staff) will be integrated into your training. The tournament side of kickboxing is second to none, providing a platform from club level and Scottish tournaments, going on to national level and advancing to international competition. Within the style, our fighters have won over twenty World Championship medals combined, as well as numerous other gold, silver and bronze medals in the European Championships and other prestigious tournaments.

🔥🥊 NEW WEEK — READY TO GO AGAIN! 🥊🔥

A new week of training is about to kick off! 👊

🎥 Here’s a short, speeded-up clip from some of last week’s Adults training, where we spent plenty of time working on low kick drills — different set-ups, counters and scenario-based work, looking at different ways to both land the low kick and deal with it coming back.
Great energy and effort on the mats as always, with everyone from beginners through to experienced fighters getting the rounds in and developing their skills together. 💚🖤

Tonight we go again. 🔥

🥊 MONDAY Youths 8–13yrs — 6:00–6:45pm
Adults 14yrs+ — 6:45–7:30pm

🥇🌍 TWO HEAD COACHES. TWO WORLD CHAMPIONS. 🌍🥇

Still leading from the front and leading by example. 👊🔥

An incredible World Championships in Berlin for EAK Head Coaches Mark O’Flaherty and David Livingston, with both stepping onto the mats themselves and coming home as World Champions. 🏆

🥇 Mark O’Flaherty — 3 x WORLD CHAMPION

🥇 David Livingston — 2 x WORLD CHAMPION
Plus an additional World Championship Bronze 🥉

Five World titles between our two Head Coaches at the same Championships. 🔥🔥

An incredible achievement in its own right, but even more so when you consider the countless hours they put into coaching, training and preparing the rest of the team, while still finding the time to prepare themselves to compete at the highest level — all while juggling work and family life away from the gym.

They don't just ask their fighters to work hard, stay committed and push themselves.

They do it themselves.

Leading from the front.
Setting the standards.
Showing the team what's possible. 💚🖤

TWO HEAD COACHES. TWO WORLD CHAMPIONS. 🌍🏆

Not a bad pair to have standing in your corner. 😉🥊🔥
