Why-Women-Should-Try-Kickboxing-Classic-Fight-TeamAt first glance, kickboxing can be intimidating. It’s easy to assume that if you don’t have a martial arts background or you’ve never even thrown a decent punch at an imaginary opponent, then it might not be for you.

But, you still might be a little bit intrigued. Especially if you’re searching for a workout option that’s fun, new, and anything but boring.

Here are a few reasons why women should try kickboxing:

1. Learn Self-Defense Techniques

Kickboxing is known for being a great option to increase your fitness. However, you’ll also pick up a few self-defense skills. Having even just a little knowledge of self-defense could help you if you ever find yourself in a threatening situation.

2. Burn Calories

Kickboxing is a high-intensity workout that burns a ton of calories. You’ll kick, punch, duck, pivot, and then do it all again while toning your arms, legs, and core.

3. Relieve Stress

After a tough day, it can be hard to talk yourself out of plopping down on the couch. Kickboxing is a healthier option that allows you to relieve quite a bit of stress.

4. Improve Confidence

Not only will you notice the changes to your body after kickboxing for a few weeks, but you’ll also feel a difference. Kickboxing can be empowering and leads to a boost in self-confidence.

5. Get a Full-Body Workout

Kickboxing works almost every muscle in your body, including your heart. The power and rotation used in kickboxing make it an excellent core workout, as well.

At Classic Fight Team in Fountain Valley, we offer a Women’s Only Kickboxing program. Our goal with this program is to provide a safe, supportive, empowering environment for women interested in an alternative workout that also encourages a healthy mind, body, and spirit.
