Our Vancouver kick boxing classes will help to shape your body, improve cardiovascular health, and promote stress release, all while learning simple self defence moves. In recent years, the discipline of kick boxing has evolved into cardio kick boxing, which has become popular with many fitness minded people, workout facilities and personal trainers. The rise in popularity for kick boxing is due to its highly beneficial combination of balance, strength, self defense and cardio training that appeals equally to men and women and provides an exciting alternative or compliment to treadmills, weight-training and other traditional fitness routines.
Modern kick boxing is also an exciting sport. Competitions now allow full contact kicks and punches that were banned in previous years. Padding, protective equipment and safety rules were introduced into kick boxing over the years due to health and safety concerns and have lead to the various forms of competitive kick boxing practiced today. Kick boxing is a hybrid of martial-arts-style kicks and western-style boxing punches used to defeat an opponent in a similar way to that of regular boxing. However, kick boxing as a full-contact sport is an independent discipline, but in some cases kick boxing is also a set of rules used by martial artists in other styles.
The term kick boxing refers to the art of kicking and punching. It includes a variety of striking martial arts such as Muai Thai, Boxing, Karate and Kung Fu. With our Vancouver kick boxing classes, you learn how to effectively protect yourself using jabs, punches, kicks, knees and elbows. The majority of the practice involves working with gloves, body bag, punching bag, and sparring with partners. As your skill level increases, a pure style usually emerges and advanced kick boxing training is required.
