What is kickboxing?
Kickboxing is a full-contact combat sport that relies on striking movements, including punches, kicks, and knees.

In recent years, kickboxing has been adapted into a high-intensity calorie-burning fitness workout.
What is the difference between kickboxing and boxing?
Traditional boxing only allows punches, while kickboxing allows punches, kicks, and knees.
Is kickboxing a good workout?
Kickboxing is an excellent high-intensity workout that combines cardio and strength training to provide a variety of health and fitness benefits:
Build your strength and tone your muscles
Burn fat and lose weight
Improve your cardio health
Increase your endurance
Boost your energy
Improve your balance and coordination
A kickboxing fitness class can burn 350 to 450+ calories per hour, depending on the intensity level and class length.
Is kickboxing good for self-defense?
Kickboxing can be effective for self-defense if learned from a martial arts studio.

I have been training in self defense with Henry Nguyen for over 2 months now racking up over 15 one hour sessions and I have learned a lot from our time. My schedule is a little crazy (working 15hours/day) so for me finding someone to work with my schedule was a little challenging but when I first talked to Henry he was very understanding to my schedule and was willing on seeing me 2 times a week from 8:30pm to 9:30pm at my house. Henry is extremely passionate about teaching self defense and if you ever ask him a question he does not know how to answer, you can expect a text the next morning answering your question in detail. I enjoy the session with him and will be continuing to have more

My experience with Oscar was amazing, I learned a lot more than I expected in a one hour session. He definitely pushed me past my limits, especially with my conditioning, since it’s been a while since I’ve trained. Overall had a blast training with Oscar.
