Our Vancouver kickboxing classes help you to reduce and relieve stress, provides a great total body workout, while you learn simple self defense moves. In more recent years, kickboxing also evolved into cardio kickboxing, which has become popular at gyms and with personal trainers. The kickboxing rise in popularity is due to combination of balance, strength, self defense techniques and cardiovascular benefits that appeals equally to men and women as a regular exercise practice.
Modern kickboxing is also a sport. Competitions now permit full-contact kicks and punches that were previously banned. Because of health and safety concerns, padding and protective clothing and safety rules were introduced into kickboxing over the years, which led to the various forms of competitive kickboxing practiced today. Kickboxing combines martial-arts-style kicks and western boxing-style punches to defeat an opponent in a similar way to that of standard boxing. However, kickboxing as a full-contact sport is an independent style, but in some cases kickboxing is also a set of rules by which martial artists of other styles utilize.
The term kickboxing is the art of punching and kicking. It is used to describe a combination of striking martial arts such as Muai Thai, Boxing, Kung Fu and Karate. With our Vancouver kickboxing classes, you learn how to fight standing, while using jabs, punches, kicks, knees and elbows. Much of the practice includes working with gloves, a body bag, punching bag and sparring with partners. As your skills evolve, a pure style is more frequently the norm and advanced kick boxing training is required.
