What is Kickboxing?

Kickboxing has become a popular form of exercise in the United States. You probably know something about it or someone who has tried it. Maybe you have tried it. If you haven’t, kickboxing is a martial art and a great form of exercise. It is a stand-up combat sport that started in the 1950’s and made its way to the United States in the 1970’s. Kickboxing, combined with other techniques including Brazilian jiu jitsu, together informed the conception of mixed martial arts (MMA).

In kickboxing classes, you will learn kickboxing fundamentals, which stem from a combination of karate and boxing. It contains kicking, punching, and striking movements|It consists of a range of different kicking, punching, and striking motions} and several different defensive positions. Competitive and professional kickboxers exist, but many children and adults take kickboxing classes just so they can get a great workout while having fun and challenging the mind. Rather than competitive combat, New Melle, MO kickboxing classes usually center around noncontact and/or cardio kickboxing.

Benefits of Kickboxing Classes

Kickboxing classes are great fun. But students of our kickboxing classes enjoy many significant benefits when they study kickboxing with us. If you would like further convincing before enrolling in your first New Melle, MO kickboxing classes, find out some of the major benefits of kickboxing classes.

1. Cardiovascular Health
   

   Kickboxing classes are a major aerobic and anaerobic cardiovascular workout. Studies show that kickboxing classes substantially improve your cardiorespiratory endurance, a measure of how efficiently your body is consuming oxygen.

2. Full-Body Workout
   

   Kickboxing classes are equal to swimming in their capacity to provide a true full-body workout. Arms, legs, glutes, core–you will engage them all constantly in kickboxing classes. The activities in kickboxing strengthen muscles while burning body fat, resulting in toning across the entire body.

3. Physicality
   

   Become more athletic by participating in kickboxing classes. You will see significant improvements in your strength, balance, power, flexibility, and agility. This benefit has a snowball effect. You will have more energy and be able to break personal fitness records and you will be less likely to get injured.

4. Weight Loss
   

   Kickboxing is an intense workout that burns a ton of calories. Similar to other high-intensity cardiovascular activities, studies vary on the exact number, but experts claim that an average person can expect to burn somewhere around 450 or even up to close to 1,000 calories per hour in a kickboxing class. Kickboxing is a fat burner as well, which makes it a popular choice for weight loss.

5. Mental Health
   

   The benefits of kickboxing do not stop at the physical. Students of New Melle, MO kickboxing classes see improvements in confidence, stress relief, concentration, motivation, and even conditions like depression. It should not be used in place of licensed mental health care, but kickboxing classes help students become mentally and emotionally healthier.

6. Sleep
   

   Like any major physical activity, New Melle, MO kickboxing classes will have a positive impact on your sleep. Regular exercise is tied to better sleep quality and duration. Lack of sleep or poor quality sleep is a dangerous condition that increases the risk of physical and mental health problems small and large, from poor coordination to cancer and heart disease. Plus, when you are exhausted, like you will be after New Melle, MO kickboxing classes, you will rest better. With better rest, you will also experience higher energy levels.

7. Self Defense
   

   Ideally you never need to use what you learn in kickboxing classes outside of class. However, learning martial arts fundamentals as you do in kickboxing classes prepares you to defend yourself in a threatening situation.
