Kickboxing

Kickboxing is a group of stand-up combat sports based on kicking and punching, historically developed from karate mixed with boxing. Kickboxing is practiced for self-defence, general fitness, or as a contact sport. A typical kickboxing class includes a cardiovascular warm-up, calisthenics, kick work, punch work, stance and movement drills, sparring in the ring and a cardiovascular cool-down that frequently includes stretching and resistance training.
