Art of Kickboxing specializes in beginner kickboxing classes in Richmond, BC, serving Metro Vancouver for teens (ages 14+) and adults. Our kickboxing classes prioritize learning proper kickboxing technique and developing real-world self-defence skills. We focus on ensuring the mastery of kickboxing fundamentals like stance, footwork, strikes (punches and kicks), and defensive strategies.

Designed for beginners interested in getting serious about developing self-defence skills or learning martial arts, our kickboxing classes emphasize technical learning and practical application. You’ll drill effective combinations, practice precision and timing against pads or partners, and sharpen body mechanics for power and efficiency. While fitness and cardiovascular benefits are a natural byproduct of intensive physical activity our class focus is on technical mastery and martial arts conditioning—rather than cardio-based workouts here.

What to Expect

For beginners in kickboxing or those refining their skills, our classes focus on mastering proper kickboxing technique while developing self-defence skills and combat proficiency. Whether you’re new to martial arts or advancing your kickboxing combos, our structured sessions blend technical precision with dynamic movement.

Here’s how we structure our sessions:

Warm-Up (5–10 Minutes)
- Footwork Drills: Footwork is the heart of martial arts and combat sports. Warm up through mobility exercises including lateral shuffles and pivot exercises.
- Calisthenics: Warm up your entire body with jumping jacks, squats, and MMA-inspired drills to prep for kicks and strikes.
- Shadow Boxing: Learn proper shadow boxing to build muscle memory for fluid combinations, blending punches and kicks in seamless motion.
Technique & Pad Work (Majority of Class)
- Kickboxing Fundamentals: Master stance, movement, and mechanics for punches (jabs, crosses, hooks) and kicks (front kicks, roundhouses, teeps). Learn defense like blocks, parries, and evasive footwork.
- Partnered Pad Work: Execute and refine combos with a partner or guided by experienced kickboxing coaches. Focus on timing, power, and accuracy—no prior skill level required!
- Skill Technique Progression: Advance from basic strikes to complex kickboxing combos (e.g., punch-kick chains) and defensive work for real-world self-defence application.
Conditioning or Optional Sparring (10 Minutes)
- High-Intensity Drills: Boost stamina with bag work, partner drills, or circuits that blend cardio and combat conditioning.
- Optional Sparring: Safe, supervised, skill-based sessions—light technical simulated sparring for beginners, more competitive rounds for seasoned students.
Cool-Down & Stretching (5-10 Minutes)
- Full-Body Recovery: Static stretches to boost flexibility and reduce soreness.
