HKP MARTIAL ARTS KICKS INTO ACTION IN DAVENTRY – AND WE'RE NOT HORSING AROUND!
August 2025 marked a legendary moment in Daventry's history – HKP Martial Arts officially opened its doors, and honestly, the town hasn't been the same since.
After years of Paul perfecting his craft. Armed with three black belts, decades of experience, and just the right amount of rebellious spirit, HKP Martial Arts was born in July 2025 – and by August, we were ready to go live. .
We've got classes for everyone:
HKP Mini’s (Ages 4-6): Teaching kids to channel their energy into something more productive than destroying your living room
HKP Legends (Age 7-12 ): Because there is only so much screen time kids can take hey!?
Adult Mixed Classes (13+): Because grown-ups need to learn how to kick properly too
Ladies-Only Sessions: A supportive space where women can train without worrying about showing off or dealing with unnecessary machismo
FROM STUDENT TO SENSEI: PAUL'S JOURNEY
Paul's been throwing kicks since he was 4 years old – which means he's had plenty of time to perfect his technique (and his patience with beginners who think they're the next Bruce Lee after one lesson). With three black belts to his name, he's basically collected martial arts achievements like some people collect coffee loyalty cards.
After years of learning and growing at various clubs, Paul gained invaluable experience and knowledge from every instructor he worked with. But there was something missing, his passion for Muay Thai wasn't finding its place in traditional club settings. Paul knew he had something unique to offer, especially when it came to incorporating his Thai training and teaching methods.
So he teamed up with his wife Lisa, Son Tye & daughter Indianna, to create HKP – a place where all of Paul's diverse martial arts background could shine, and where students could benefit from his full range of expertise, Muay Thai training included.
THE HKP PHILOSOPHY: SERIOUS TRAINING, SERIOUS FUN
We believe martial arts should be challenging, rewarding, and yes, actually enjoyable. No stuffy traditionalism here. No intimidating atmospheres that make beginners want to run for the hills. Just solid training, genuine community, and the occasional terrible martial arts pun.
Whether you're 4 or 94, whether you want to learn self-defense, get fit, build confidence, or just have a legitimate reason to wear Thai boxing shorts in public, we've got you covered.
READY TO JOIN THE HKP FAMILY?
Calling all adults – yes, we're talking to you! Whether you're a complete beginner or someone who's been thinking about getting back into martial arts, there's never been a better time to start.
Our doors are open, we are ready, and Paul's terrible jokes are fully loaded. What more could you want?
