Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.com.
How much do kickboxing classes cost?

What is kickboxing?
Kickboxing is a full-contact combat sport that relies on striking movements, including punches, kicks, and knees. Competitive fights typically take place in a boxing ring, with fighters wearing boxing gloves, shorts, and mouth guards. Muay Thai, karate, and most other martial arts incorporate aspects of kickboxing.
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. The sport incorporates strikes like punching and kicking while also teaching you to evade or defend against attacks. However, kickboxing doesn't incorporate grappling moves like those found in Jiu-Jitsu or Aikido that help you to escape an attacker holding you on the ground.

Max was a breath of fresh air to Muay Thai, kickboxing and sparring. For being so young, his passion, inspiration, skill and love for the sport was nothing short of motivating and contagious! I truly enjoyed having him as a coach and feel that much better as a student being able to learn and train under Max!

This is an amazing facility with an approach that benefits the whole child. My son has trained for almost 3 years and his coordination, confidence and ability to concentrate has improved immensely. I am so impressed with the coaching team. My son especially respects Master H and Master Luft. As a school teacher myself, I always learn something from their motivational techniques. Great Facility!

After a number of years training with him, I can say that Steve is an excellent instructor. He demonstrates a visible passion for what he does, and definitely really cares that those he instructs both have fun and effectively learn the techniques he teaches. Steve's focus on character in classes for younger students is also very impressive, getting the entire class engaged by using Martial Arts as a conduit for development. As a whole, he is a great instructor who I would highly recommend for any age group!

Since training at Ninomiya Martial Arts, I have learned and grown so much physically and mentally as well. Sensei Jota always shows patience and passion in every exercise we do, and it has truly been an honor being able to train under the Ninomiya name. I would highly recommend anyone to join Ninomiya Martial Arts as I hope it will benefit and inspire your life as much as it has mine.

I joined this school years ago, after a 30-year pause in martial arts (did Tae Kwon Do in high school), after my son joined. One of my daughters and one of my nephews joined too, and for years we trained together, it was great!
We get our belt ranking in Tae Kwon Do, our forms are Tae Kwon Do, but we also train in practical self-defense, boxing and kick-boxing, and martial art weapons (escrima, bo, nunchucks). Physical conditioning is interwoven into all the curriculum, and is part of belt testing.
Students are constantly encouraged and their progress is frequently measured and rewarded.
For parents who don't want to do the martial arts, there are cardio kickboxing classes, so you can do that while your kid is training.
My nephew and son reached 2nd degree black belt rank, my daughter and I are 3rd degree and still going — and my daughter founded her own cardio kickboxing and self defense class at her college, as a freshman.
This is a wonderful school.
