What a kickboxing class looks like
Warm-up
Cardio and bodyweight conditioning to get your heart rate up.
Technique
Punches, kicks and how to keep your hands up to protect your face.
Bag and pad work
Put it together in combinations on the heavy bags and pads. No sparring, ever.
What you get out of it
- A full-body workout
- Muscle tone, flexibility, balance and coordination, with your heart rate up the whole time.
- Self-defense you practice
- Every punch and block is a real move, so you build skills that could protect you or someone you love.
