Kickboxing

Confidence, communication and kicks: how kickboxing stretched Eloise Ranson’s limits in life and development

Just like web design and development, kickboxing is something I always knew I wanted to do. I had those ‘Aha’ moments – the sudden realisation this was going to be a big part of my life. Both were callings and they hit me like a, well, punch in the face!

After eight years, I’m taking my black belt grading. I was never a patient person but kickboxing gave me a long-term goal and showed me how much can be achieved when improving skills over time. With anything you love and do often enough, at times it feels like a grind. But you power through and, eventually, you solve a problem or do something a bit differently. You move up to the next level and it feels great.
