KICK BOXING
Kickboxing classes incorporate the art of Muay Thai’s unmatched skills for standing combat with an intense, 800 calorie-per-hour, fat-burning cardio workout.
American kickboxing originated in the 1970s and is considered a hybrid martial art.
Fighting techniques focus on strikes with hands, feet, elbows, knees, blocking and take-downs while you slim down, get toned and build endurance.
Through our kickboxing classes, you will get a total body workout that increases stamina, strength, and flexibility.
Such a rigorous workout will reduce and relieve stress — the kicking and punching will help with feelings of frustration and anger.
We can also help you to improve balance and coordination, as well as to feel empowered and confident..
Our adult kickboxing classes combine Muay Thai’s unique skill-set for standing combat with a high calorie-burning, fat-burning cardio conditioning session.
