Kickboxing is the art of controlling your opponent with short striking movements. It’s a form of self-defense that gives practitioners a full-body workout and builds physical skills like power, speed, and agility.
This fast-moving martial art is just as much for the mind as it is for your body. And it’s for beginners as much as it is for experienced athletes. For MMA athletes, we will work with you to connect kickboxing techniques and skills to Jiu-Jitsu.
Here are just a few of the benefits you can expect from kickboxing:
1. Self-Defense
Self-defense is a valuable and empowering skill set. And while we hope that you never find yourself in a real-life situation where you need to use these skills, it can help you protect yourself if needed. Through kickboxing, you’ll learn a variety of techniques that also can teach you how to defend yourself.
2. Full-Body Training
Kickboxing incorporates the use of body movement and footwork as you move around your opponent. You’re forced to engage all of your muscles, including your core while staying in constant motion. And all of this movement makes for an effective, full-body workout.
3. Improved Agility
Not only does kickboxing keep you in constant motion, but you must also move quickly. In kickboxing, you need to move well, and you need to be fast. You also need to change direction fluidly and rapidly in response to your opponent’s movements. Working on making swift movements helps athletes build agility, quick reflexes, coordination, and flexibility. You may not feel agile when you start, but kickboxing will get you there, guaranteed.
