About RKO
RKO Ringwood Kickboxing Organisation, located in Ringwood, BH24, has been delivering top-level kickboxing training since 2019. The club is led by Liz Ferioli-Brown, a decorated athlete who holds World, European, and British Titles under WAKO Kickboxing GB. Her leadership brings a wealth of experience and a deep passion for developing students of all levels.
RKO is proudly affiliated with WAKO (World Association of Kickboxing Organisations), the official global governing body for amateur kickboxing. Through this affiliation, RKO students can train at any WAKO-recognised club around the world, making it a truly global community of martial artists.
We are also partnered with our sister club, BKO – Basingstoke Kickboxing Organisation, which has been established for over 25 years. Members of both RKO and BKO benefit from shared membership and insurance, with full access to training sessions at either location.
🏆 High-Level Coaching, World-Class Results
Our students regularly compete—and succeed—at all levels of the sport:
-
Local & regional competitions
-
National championships
-
International tournaments, including the WAKO European & World Championships
RKO and BKO proudly support a number of athletes currently representing WAKO Team GB, with several earning gold medals at both European and World level events.
Our Mission
At RKO Ringwood Kickboxing, our mission is to empower every student—child or adult, beginner or elite competitor—to reach their potential through high-quality training, discipline, and a strong club culture.
We believe in creating a supportive and motivating environment where anyone can thrive, regardless of experience. Since our founding in 2019, we’ve been committed to making kickboxing accessible, enjoyable, and effective for everyone.
