Fat? Just Kickbox

Fat? Just Kickbox
900 Calories in 1 session?
Easy!
Kickboxing is by far the greatest way to burn fat, get fighting fit and stay focused, yet many back away from the thought of entering a class and getting hit!
First off, there is no fighting in my class!
You learn the basics of combat sure, but they are not put into practice, unless you want to that is. Controlled Sparring will only begin when our Kick Boxers are at a high technical level
For a kick boxer, or boxer for that matter to endure Round after Round of kicks, punches, low blows, hooks and uppercuts to duck and cover manoeuvres is a stamina enduring task. Many of us who know what it takes to hit a heavy bag in the gym for 3 mins without it hitting back surely have a lot of respect for these professional fighters. (Although they do get paid for it)
Training in kickboxing, Boxing or other MMA (MIxed Martial Arts) classes will be one sure fire step to making it on your way to a healthier, leaner, stronger you, and I guarantee if you put the work in, you will get the right results.
First we start with light skipping to bring warm blood into the muscles, then stretching, deeply and correctly, preparing our muscles for the twist and turns, duck and dives and quick fire punches and kicks. We then move into technical combat learning the correct stance, boxer/kick boxer guard, jabs, cross, hooks, uppercuts, front, side and roundhouse kicks.
Paring up with a partner, one will use his/her gloves as focus pads while the other carefully practices his/her new found art of punch and kick combinations switching after 10 times each.
We then move onto the heavy and teardrop bags, shadow boxing and skipping to put out practice into more practice on the "static" targets.
Then, only then do we move into the Tabata Circuit, a quick abs session and the a cool down and stretch to complete our 1 1/2 hour workout.
There are certainly some great results within weeks, pushups have gone up from 5 to 15, Planks are being held for 60 secs, jabs and hook are being hit with precision and the guys leave sweaty but invigorated.
All it takes then is for a quick shower, a delicious juice from our Juice Bar and the day is set to commence again.
