The British Kickboxing Council (BKC) was formed in 2010 by representatives from some of the leading Kickboxing organisations and sanctioning bodies in the UK with the purpose of creating a recognised National Governing Body for the sport. Working in collaboration, and creating a team of industry leaders, the BKC has achieved many of its initial objectives on the road towards gaining official recog

nition from the Sports Councils. We continue to work towards that goal and add further expertise to our Board. We are comprised of a Board of Directors, Executive Board and three primary Discipline Committees, as well as a range of sub-committees and dedicated teams for areas such as Club Development and Equality, Diversity & Inclusion. Our Member Bodies and Associate Members hold seats on the Discipline Committees (with a representative of each sitting on our Board of Directors), acting as the voice of their organisation and providing their expertise to the Board.

Our Story

The British Kickboxing Council (BKC) is the most influential governing body for Kickboxing in the country, comprising of British representatives from some of the largest associations, federations and organisations in the world. The BKC governing structure comprises of an Executive Council, Member Body Council, Home Country Representatives and various specialised Committees, all of whom are appointed using the same democratic processes which help ensure the neutrality of the BKC. Our governance covers: Semi-Contact (Points), Light-Contact (Continuous), Full Contact and Freestyle Forms (including Martial Gymnastics). For more on the role played by the BKC in the sport, visit Our Role. The BKC does not enforce a syllabus, class structure or grading structure, as these are enforced by the relevant bodies that fall under the umbrella of the BKC. We do however provide a national rule set for competition, a recommended progression structure and a whole host of other benefits and initiatives designed to make Kickboxing safer, more fun and more rewarding for total beginners, world champions and all those in between. In addition, we have recently introduced a Unified Black Belt Syllabus aimed at accrediting Britain's first ever Unified Black Belts! Our goal is to be the world leader in Kickboxing, by constantly seeking to raise our standards and that of the whole sport, regardless of membership to the BKC or its member bodies. We aim to unite the sport within Great Britain and use the BKC as a positive example internationally, for the unification of the sport around the word, In addition, the BKC are the only Kickboxing body to be members of the Sport and Recreation Alliance and were the very first sporting organisation in the country to have signed up to their Voluntary Code of Good Governance. We are also registered with Sport Resolutions who aid us in managing disputes within the sport.
