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

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.

A Shining Star: Our Review of Mr. Kenneth at Friends Family Martial Arts
From the moment our children stepped into Friends Family Martial Arts, Mr. Kenneth has been an absolute gem. Their journey began with zero experience in any discipline, and we were initially apprehensive about how they would adapt. Thankfully, those worries quickly dissipated thanks to Mr. Kenneth's exceptional guidance.
His professionalism shines through in every interaction. He creates a structured and focused learning environment, while simultaneously fostering a sense of camaraderie and fun. This balance has been instrumental in motivating our children and keeping them engaged.
But Mr. Kenneth's influence extends far beyond physical skills. He instills in his students valuable life lessons like discipline, respect, and perseverance. We've witnessed a remarkable growth in our children's moral compass, and we firmly believe that Mr. Kenneth's positive reinforcement plays a significant role in this development.
The confidence Mr. Kenneth has nurtured in our children is truly remarkable. They approach challenges with a newfound determination, and their self-belief continues to soar. This newfound confidence extends beyond the dojo, radiating into their academics and everyday interactions.
If you're looking for an instructor who combines professionalism with genuine care, then Mr. Kenneth is the shining star you've been searching for. His dedication to his students' physical and moral development is truly unmatched. We wholeheartedly recommend Friends Family Martial Arts and, especially, the incredible Mr. Kenneth!
