Why boxing and kickboxing work for fitness
- Conditioning. Rounds of punching, kicking and footwork build serious cardio fitness.
- Core and rotational strength. Every punch and kick is driven from the hips and trunk.
- Coordination and reflexes. You learn to move your hands and feet together under pressure.
- Confidence. Learning practical self-defence skills is empowering.
- Stress relief. Few things clear your head like a round on the bag.
Is it for beginners?
Yes. The class is designed for people who have never boxed or kicked before. You learn the technique first and work at your own intensity.
