Description

Kickboxing is primarily a standing sport where both fighters are facing each other and trying to deliver a variety of kicks, punches, elbows, and knees in order to score points or knock their opponent out. The focus of kickboxing is to be as efficient as possible with accurate kicks and punches to specific areas that will render the fighter unable to provide defense.

The emphasis of our kickboxing classes is to get the student in shape and raise the level of endurance with proven body movement techniques. The classes also help the student learn valuable self-defense techniques that can be used in the event of a confrontation.

Each class lasts for one hour. The lesson begins with a 15-20 minute warm-up which incorporates punching, kicking, and stretching. The remaining 40-45 minutes involves the use of focus mitts and hand held kick shields with conditioning exercises such as sit-ups and push-ups mixed in. Air kicking and punching (drill work) also takes place throughout the class as well as partner work. Protective equipment, such as hand and feet wraps, is worn during training. Sparring (semi-contact fighting) is available at certain times for those who are interested.
