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

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.

I love how knowledgeable Aaron is. I'm a very technical person and had a lot of questions. Aaron was very patient and answered all of them. His technique is also great and I feel as though I can defend myself better than I've ever have because of what Aaron taught me.

Working within the Wing Chun Science system, has helped me understand Martial Arts from a completely different view point. Taking it one step further, and going in depth, not just with the history of the sport. But the physics and geometry behind the movement. Creating a different dimension on how to look at Martial Arts and Kung Fu entirely. I look forward to continuing my Training and learning more about the Art and myself in the process!

I'm a petite female taking martial arts lessons for the first time. I chose Wing Chun due to the fact that it'd been invented by a woman. Prior to my first day with Sifu Moy, I'd been drawn to Wing Chun kung fu due to this (and admiration for Ip Man, Bruce Lee's Sifu) but my first lesson with Sifu Moy took it to another level as I gained a TON of knowledge within a span of two hours. Sifu Moy break steps into simple/easy concepts and used analogies that were relatable and understandable, especially for a freshie to this arena. He's taught me that Wing Chun is not about strength (how strong you are) but about chi energy and how to use energy to your advantage self defense. He's very patient, humble and insightful. Everything he teaches, he shares the purpose/logic for it. I'm happy, honored and excited to have found Sifu Moy. I l look forward to learning so much more from him.
