Kick Boxing

Kickboxing has experienced a surge in popularity with increased exposure in the movies and new classes which combine aerobics with Kickboxing techniques. "Cardio-Kickboxing" classes have sprouted up almost everywhere with many names being attached to them. Up until this point, Kickboxing has, along with boxing, suffered through many stereotypes which have kept some people away. Fortunately, this is changing and even among children, kickboxing has become more and more mainstream.

For the development of martial skill, Kickboxing provides a very useful means for someone (of any age) to learn self-defense. Its hand-strikes are simple, adaptable, and very effective. Kicks are kept basic and are trained in combination with hand-strikes. Like boxing, what sets kickboxing apart is its excellent use of footwork. This creates a practitioner who is evasive and difficult to hit.

The high activity level makes kickboxing a good alternative for children; however, what Kickboxing does not offer is the internal training found in eastern or traditional martial arts such as Karate or Kung Fu. In other words, training the character skills are de-emphasized somewhat in Kickboxing training. It is up to each instructor to not only cultivate the power and skill developed but also to teach a student how to control this power and skill. It is often the case that traditional martial artists cross-train in Kickboxing. This allows them to maintain the internal or spiritual benefit of martial training while gaining some "real-world" fighting experience.
