WHAT IS KICKBOXING?
Kickboxing has become a popular form of exercise in the United States. Chances are you know something about it or someone who has tried it. Maybe that someone is you. But for the unfamiliar, kickboxing is a martial art and a great form of exercise. It is a stand-up combat sport that started in the 1950’s and made its way to the United States in the 1970’s. Kickboxing, along with other techniques including Brazilian jiu jitsu, has played a prominent role in the formulation of mixed martial arts (MMA).
In kickboxing classes, you will learn kickboxing fundamentals, which are based on a combination of karate and boxing. It consists of a range of different kicking, punching, and striking motions as well as several different defensive strategies. Though there are competitive kickboxers that fight professionally, many children and adults take kickboxing classes simply for a great workout and enjoyment of the sport. Kickboxing classes primarily focus on noncontact kickboxing and/or cardio kickboxing over competitive combat.
Our Kickboxing Classes
Our martial arts gym schedule is jam-packed every day with a variety of kickboxing classes, other martial arts classes, MMA classes, and open mat opportunities. We have classes for students of all ages and ability levels beginning at the age of 4. Though for our very youngest students we focus on teaching fundamentals that aren’t necessarily specific to one martial art in particular, we offer kickboxing classes for kids, teens, and adults.

BENEFITS OF KICKBOXING CLASSES
Kickboxing classes are a blast, trust us. But students of our kickboxing classes enjoy a list of substantial benefits when they practice kickboxing with us. If you need further convincing before enrolling in your first kickboxing classes, read on to learn about some of the primary benefits of participating in kickboxing classes.
- Cardiovascular Health
Kickboxing classes offer an intense and engaging cardiovascular workout; it is both aerobic and anaerobic. This is backed up by science. Participating in kickboxing classes regularly substantially improves your cardiorespiratory endurance, a measure of how efficiently your body is consuming oxygen. - Full-Body Workout
Kickboxing classes are up there with swimming in their capacity to provide a true full-body workout. Arms, legs, glutes, core–you will engage them all constantly in kickboxing classes. Kickboxing movements strengthen all these muscles while burning body fat, resulting in toning across the entire body. - Physicality
Become more athletic by participating in kickboxing classes. You will see significant improvements in your strength, balance, power, flexibility, and agility. This benefit has a snowball effect. You will have more energy and be able to achieve new personal bests as an athlete and you will be less likely to get injured. - Weight Loss
Kickboxing is an intense workout that burns a ton of calories. Similar to other high-intensity cardiovascular activities, studies vary on the exact number, but experts claim that an average person can expect to burn somewhere around 450 or even up to close to 1,000 calories per hour in a kickboxing class. You will also burn fat, making kickboxing a popular choice for weight loss. - Mental Health
Similar to other martial arts, kickboxing classes are not just beneficial physically. Kickboxing classes will give you confidence, act as a form of stress relief, and train you to concentrate, help you stay motivated, and can even have an impact on conditions like depression. Though it is no replacement for licensed psychological care, kickboxing classes help students become mentally and emotionally healthier. - Sleep
Like any major physical activity, kickboxing classes will have a positive impact on your sleep. Regular exercise is tied to better quality sleep and a healthy length of time sleeping. Lack of sleep or poor quality sleep is often underestimated and is, frankly, a pandemic that increases the risk of physical and mental health problems that range from poor coordination to cancer and heart disease. Not to mention, after a week of exhausting kickboxing classes, your body is sure to tire out. With better rest, you will also experience higher energy levels. - Self Defense
Though the hope is that you will never need to use what you have learned in your kickboxing classes in a real-life situation, learning martial arts fundamentals as you do in kickboxing classes prepares you to defend yourself in a threatening situation.
