If you’re looking for a new way to improve your physical fitness and learn a new skill, consider Kickboxing with us at Absolute MMA! Our Kickboxing curriculum is a part of our Muay Thai program here in West Jordan, Utah. It’s a stand-up striking system that uses punches, knees, elbows, and kicks both in self-defense and competition.
Physical and mental health benefits of Kickboxing
Kickboxing is an effective form of self-defense and each class is a great workout! Here are several benefits you’ll receive when you do Kickboxing:
- Improved stamina: Since you’ll be moving the entire 90-minutes of class, you’re constantly burning calories. You’re also improving your anaerobic and aerobic workload when you train consistently. Classes don’t have much down time which keeps you moving which trains your muscles to work for longer periods of time.
- Greater flexibility: We always take time to properly warm-up, stretch, and cool-down with every class. Because of this, your body’s overall mobility and flexibility will improve. Kickboxing requires your entire body to be engaged whether you’re slipping a punch or landing a leg kick. These movements combined with our stretching routine will help you get the most out of every class while reducing your chances of getting injured.
- Better hand-eye coordination: We believe in the importance and value of drilling proper techniques. With each repetition, you’ll get better at everything from gauging the distance between you and an opponent to getting your punches to connect with your target. Overtime, your hand-eye coordination will improve and so will your reflexes.
- More positive mindset: One of the greatest benefits of Kickboxing is experiencing a more positive mindset! Why? You’re not only feeling better because you’re exercising. You’re also feeling more positive because you’re making new friends in the process. Each class you participate in will be rewarding due to the effort you’re giving and the support of our community around you.
By showing up and putting in the work, you’ll continue to progress towards your fitness goals. We’re here for you every step of the way to help you learn and grow with every class you attend.
