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.

I've been training with Belton for over 8 years - and study strength training, and martial arts during our private training sessions. He is incredibly knowledgeable and always strives to improve his skills so that he can help his students to continue to improve. He is truly a teacher who listens to his students, and helps them to realize their potential both physically and mentally. His background and experience is immense, and he brings together many disciplines as well as physical movement, physical health, nutrition, proper strength training techniques, Z-Health, NSI, Balintawak, Muay Thai, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Would highly recommend Belton!

His ability to recognize each fighter’s skills and weaknesses real quick.
He trains different fighters based on their set of skills, and does not coach everyone the same way.
Mana Team Boxing, puts in the effort to try to get his fighters better every day, and does not go just through the motions.
He is always available to be reached via text or phone calls for any boxing related questions.
He follows-up with his fighters by sharing video clips, articles, knowledge, and gives feedback after watching the recorded training session!
He has a plan of what to work on and informs me the day before of what to expect.

My daughter has been attending MMMAC for about 5 years now. She has built confidence, discipline, and how to protect herself with taekwondo. She has built friendships outside of school, and worked her way up to STORM team. Ms. Mari's is phenomenal and inspiring to the children. Summer camps are active, and exciting for my daughter as well!
