Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
whY Train In Boxing, if You Train in Kickboxing?
Boxing and kickboxing differ significantly in stance, strategy, and range. Boxing is a completely different martial art that is utilized in kickboxing. Training in boxing sharpens your punching to an elite level and teaches advanced movement and defensive skills that kickboxing often doesn't emphasize, such as weaving and rolling.
Is boxing a Good Cardio Workout?
Like with kickboxing, boxing training is an extremely good workout for your cardiovascular system. Boxing is a lot more tiring to actually do in real life than it looks on TV or online. Drilling out proper boxing combinations for an hour with a professional coach or a good partner can be significantly more calorie burning than jogging for an hour.
Is There Sparring in the Class?
No. There is no sparring in our boxing classes for safety reasons. Students who want to try light sparring can talk to one of our coaches to see if they're ready to spar. Light sparring would be done in our co-ed kickboxing classes; however, only those who we feel are safe enough to spar will be allowed to spar. We highly prioritize safety, and everyone who participates in sparring should understand the risks involved.
