Kickboxing gets you in shape fast...but it also teaches valuable Self Defense Skills

Kickboxing isn’t just a way to get in shape, it can also have benefits for those interested in Self Defense.  If you’re studying self defense, a kickboxing class can be a great supplement. Kickboxing can help you learn the physical basics of reacting to an attack, including how to stand, move and fight.


Combining conditioning drills, Kicks and punches, elbows and knees will get you in shape super fast. Our iLoveKickboxing.com classes burn fat (aerobic benefit) , build muscle (anaerobic benefit) and release stress. (ask any of our kickboxers and they will tell you how great it feels to hit the bag) Best of all it's a ton of fun! Our classes are filled with people who work hard, and get results. Everyone is there cheering each other on and helping to push you to do your best. 


But did you know our iLoveKickboxing.com classes also teach valuable self defense skills?  
Studying kickboxing will teach you how to stand and move so that you can be on your guard and react quickly in an attack situation. Kickboxing classes can help you learn to maintain your poise and balance even while you’re being attacked, so that you can fight back more effectively. Kickboxing can also teach you how to kick and punch to protect yourself and fend off an attacker. You’ll learn the proper position in which to hold your hands during a fight, and you’ll learn how to block your attacker’s moves when he tries to punch, kick or grab you.


Kickboxing will also make you stronger. Kickboxing classes offer an intense cardio workout that will improve your endurance by strengthening your heart and lung function. You’ll build your core muscles and the muscles of your legs, arms and shoulders, so you’ll have added strength to help you in a self defense situation.


Most people join our classes for fitness, and our classes deliver!...but add to that the added benefit of learning these self defense moves and your confidence will skyrocket!


As an instructor, there is nothing better than seeing my students lose weight, build confidence, and become stronger, happier people. It's the best part of my job!


If you know someone who would benefit from all that our training has to offer, be sure to send them to 
www.BayportMartialArts.com.  They can find information on our adult iLoveKickboxingBayport.com program and our KidsLoveMartialArtsBayport.com classes as well as the other martial arts programs we offer at Bayport Black Belt Champions.
