Learning Kickboxing: The Benefits
For many people in Metro Vancouver, where fast-paced city life can feel isolating, learning kickboxing provides a unique sense of community. You’ll make new friends, develop a support system, and be part of a welcoming, bully-free kickboxing studio that values growth over ego. Our classes are structured for all skill levels, and we are focused on teaching kickboxing to beginners, properly from the beginning.
Beyond the social benefits, kickboxing builds assertiveness, practical self-defence skills, and self-esteem. You’ll learn powerful punches, common kicks, and how to defend yourself with proper form. From basic punches to roundhouse kicks and foot jabs, students gradually develop powerful strikes through consistent practice, guided by a professional coach.
How Long Does It Take to Learn Kickboxing?
If you’re new to the sport, you might wonder: How long does it take to learn kickboxing? The short answer is—you can begin to grasp the basic moves and foundational techniques in just 12 classes if you train once per week. That’s enough to understand the fighting stance, learn some partner drills, and apply your basic kickboxing skills in simple routines.
However, if your goal is to build muscle memory, execute advanced combinations, and develop perfect form, it typically takes at least six months of consistent attendance. Whether you attend weekly kickboxing classes or supplement with personal training, repetition and feedback from a coach are crucial.
Kickboxing is not simply about throwing aggressive strikes—it’s about understanding proper technique, avoiding bad habits, and progressing through safe sparring progressions when appropriate.
How & Where to Learn Kickboxing
For beginners, the best place to learn kickboxing is by joining a reputable kickboxing studio or martial arts school that offers structured training programs and encourages development at all skill levels. Avoid learning through random YouTube videos. You need feedback, correction, and connection—which you’ll only get in a proper training setting.
At Art of Kickboxing in Richmond, BC, we provide a safe, friendly, bully-free and intimidation-free environment to begin your kickboxing journey. We are a trusted local martial arts school, conveniently located for residents of Vancouver, Richmond, Burnaby, New Westminster, Surrey, and Ladner. We’re just minutes from major transit routes and central bus stops, and provide some of the most affordable prices in the region.
All beginners are welcome. Whether you’re training for self-defence or simply personal interest, we guide you step-by-step through fundamental kickboxing techniques, training equipment use (like boxing gloves and pads), and how to safely progress toward advanced techniques.
Can You Learn Kickboxing at Home?
While it’s possible to practice kickboxing solo using online resources, trying to learn at home is typically inefficient—especially for beginners. Without proper instruction, it’s easy to develop bad habits, misunderstand key mechanics, or use training methods that don’t work for your body type or goals.
Kickboxing is built on detailed fundamentals. You need to learn how to throw basic punches like the hook punch or cross punch, and how to execute kicks like the shin kick with maximum power. Practicing these techniques without correction can lead to injury or ineffective form. Also, without partner drills, you won’t build reaction time or develop realistic fight strategies.
That’s why we encourage all newcomers to try at least a few in-person kickboxing classes or 1-on-1 private personal training sessions at Art of Kickboxing in Richmond BC before training at home. But getting proper technique established early is key.
