| TP, My advice would be to research anything called "kick"boxing.
As What I`ve discovered in the past, is it could be anything, ie: Some sort of lame kick boxing, run by some bloke who watched a Jakie Chan movie when he was 12 or it could be some water`d down kick boxing based on a low grade Kung fu or Karate system. (Lau gar,wado ryu ect)
It sounds like you want the real deal, so search out genuine Muay Thai, Thai Boxing.
Serious stuff and even more serious in the street, as you not only learn to be effective with your fist, shins and feet, but also knee`s and elbow`s.
Although most UK Matches do not allow the use of elbow strike`s, for obvious reasons.
Now I have moved to windsor, I`m about to re-start training Kyoukushinkai in Reading (as I can`t travel to london every time) but its only once a week, so I`ve been looking to suppliment it with Muay Thai also, there is a great Club in Reading , but very hard to be excepted as a student, so fingers crossed.
Bu`sen down in Twickenham High street, would be a good place to start your journey grass hopper...
