Benefits of Kick-Boxing
Kickboxing has many positives and like anything the more you put into it the more you will gain and benefit from your efforts.
The main benefits are as follows:
- Kickboxing Benefit 1: Reduce Stress You can kick and punch your way to a stress-free zone within minutes of your high-energy kickboxing routine. The movements in kickboxing challenge several core muscle groups and will give you a total body workout, fast.
- Kickboxing Benefit 2: Boost Confidence Levels According to Dr. Rose Windale of Healthzine.org, kickboxing helps you release endorphins which will give your mood a boost and help you feel more confident. Endorphins will also make you feel happier and more positive for several hours after the workout.
- Kickboxing Benefit 3: Improved Coordination If you're suffering from posture problems and have poor coordination, you can strengthen your 'core' and improve your reflexes and coordination skills. The speedy punches and kicks in the kickboxing routine will give you a chance to focus your energy to execute each movement successfully.
- Kickboxing Benefit 4: Burn Mega Calories Muscle and Fitness Magazine reports that fitness kickboxing can burn over 800 calories per hour, and you'll be toning up your entire body as you rev up your metabolism. It's a high-power cardio routine that's great for weight loss and getting you in shape, fast. (Source: CKOKickboxing.com)
- Kickboxing Benefit 5: Ideal Cross-Training Workout If you've been pounding on the treadmill for several weeks and need a break from your usual cardio routine, kickboxing is the perfect cross-training workout. You can add some weights by wearing wrist weights or ankle weights, or just putting on a pair of lightweight boxing gloves for extra resistance. Just one or two routines a week can help you break out of a fitness rut, fast.
- Kickboxing Benefit 6: Energy Boost Kickboxing is a high-energy cardio routine that will give your body and mind a boost, and will increase your energy levels. You'll be breathing hard and sweating out toxins; this process will give your energy levels a much-needed boost.
- Kickboxing Benefit 7: Better Posture If you're hunched over a computer all day, kickboxing workouts will challenge many muscle groups that don't get enough attention throughout the day, and you'll start to build up your core. Core muscles in around your abdominal wall are targeted with kickboxing routines because you need to use your waist and abs for balance, and to execute each carefully coordinated move.
IMPORTANT!
Kickboxing workouts offer several benefits for your body and mind, and are a great choice for getting out of a fitness rut. Whether you're a fitness fanatic or just getting started with a workout routine, kickboxing can help you reach your fitness goals.

The Kickboxing & Boxing Workout Burns 800 Calories in Just 60 Minutes
Kickboxing and Boxing workout is an excellent method of getting both the strength endurance gains of a long gym session and the body toning of a run. Using an array of different punches and kicks, it is not only a fantastic form of intensive exercise but also a great way of having fun.Improves stamina, agility and coordination
Physically, it is a phenomenally cardio-intensive full body workout, burning plenty of calories whilst creating an enjoyable atmosphere. Your core is put to the test, as tension in the abdominals is required when performing punches or kicks, which in turn develops better posture and increased balance. The sheer amount of these movements has numerous benefits, ranging from increased flexibility to growths in strength endurance. As a result, it may help to combat the loss of agility either due to inactivity or ageing. Throughout classes, the experienced instructors guide class members through stages such as stretching and working the punch bag. The ability to react quickly to instructions and situations enables participants to rapidly improve coordination and reflexes, leaving you feeling sharper than ever.
Reduces stress and frustration
Evidently kickboxing has an extensive list of physical benefits, however some of the sport's most overlooked values are those mental advantages. Just as any form of exercise does, kickboxing releases endorphins into the blood, which act as a mood-booster and de-stressing hormone. The act of hitting a punch bag is also a brilliant medium of removing frustration that may have built up over time, allowing you to be refreshed and reinvigorated by the sessions.
Increases determination and self-confidence
Techniques learnt from class instructors can give you a self-confidence boost, knowing that if the situation does ever arise, you know the correct self-defence techniques and are confident to use them. As one of the principles which karate is based on, self-discipline has permeated through to kickboxing and is acquired by participants throughout sessions. Subsequently, these classes have been known to develop an individual's inner strength and determination significantly.
Reinvigorates your motivation to exercise
Exercise classes, including kickboxing, are a great way to alleviate a common problem of 'gym boredom'. By combining a cardio-intense session with a testing muscle workout, the versatile nature of kickboxing lends itself to reinvigorating your motivation to exercise and essentially have fun again. Furthermore, the combination of the two forms of cardio and body conditioning means a significant amount of valuable time is saved, as you don't have to go for that long gym session followed by that arduous run!

You’ll learn techniques that provide models of self-defence from common attacks including punches, grabs, chokes, pushes, kicks, take downs, weapons and even multiple attackers.
STRENGTH BUILDING
It's an excellent class for developing your overall fitness, conditioning, speed, flexibility, power and co-ordination. The classes combine solo drills such as working on the punch bags or working partner drills on the focus pads. This is an upbeat, fun class and is designed to provide an excellent workout while developing practical skills. The ethos of the gym is reality based martial arts so everything we teach has to be able to be applicable in real life. The kickboxing syllabus is designed to be used in self defence situations as well as a great method of getting in shape.
