How to become a GB team member

Becoming a GB team member involves several steps. All athletes licensed with Kickboxing GB have the opportunity to participate in the KGB Nationals, where they can compete for the title of British Champion in their selected disciplines.

Athletes who achieve medals during the Nationals will receive an invitation to join the National Team squad training sessions. This serves as the initial step in the GB team selection process, which is meticulously defined in our Kickboxing GB National Team Selection Policy.

GB squad training sessions are accessible to all, emphasising inclusivity. These sessions are designed to offer grassroots clubs a pathway for development, ultimately leading to elite-level competition.
