Wellbeing A-Z -Kickboxing

Kickboxing originated from a match between karate practitioners and Thai boxers in Japan, leading to its global popularity. It combines elements of Western boxing and martial arts, requiring protective gear for safety. Kickboxing is an excellent way to stay fit, learn self-defense, and relieve stress. Practicing techniques like jabs, crosses, and kicks can burn up to 600 calories per hour. For those who prefer less intensity, light and semi-contact styles are available.
