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.

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.

Wow! I am so impressed with Jonah! He is patient and very knowledgeable. I am brand new to boxing and he really helped me feel confident and excited to keep coming back. I brought a friend to our second lesson and she is more experienced than I and still learned things from Jonah. We both have signed up for two times a week lessons! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Everything we have worked on during my personal training has been completely applicable to my objectives for competition. That being said I have won most of my fights do to his coaching and mentorship. Joey is an amazing coach always looking out for his clients and their best interest.

I had never done any type of martial arts so I was a little nervous. Josh made me feel at home with his patience and attention to detail! Now I am obsessed and look forward to training martial arts!

I’ve known Ricky for about 2 years now, and I recently started working out with him to help maintain/improve my athleticism in flag football & my overall strength. I love working out with Ricky because he makes every movement & exercise relevant to my goals. He explains why I’m doing a certain exercise & how I can use it in what I’m doing. Ricky is extremely professional, yet personable. He’s flexible in scheduling, yet also holds me accountable for the goals that we decided that I want to accomplish. Ricky’s the best!
