What Is the Best Martial Art for Females to Learn?
When it comes to choosing the best martial art for women, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. At Art of Kickboxing, we believe the best martial art for females to learn is the one they are most interested in. Interest fuels consistency, and consistency leads to real progress.
If your goal is to gain practical self-defense skills, we recommend starting with disciplines that provide direct, hands-on training. Kickboxing, Muay Thai, Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu are among the top martial arts styles for self-defense. These martial arts programs emphasize both striking and grappling, giving students tools to handle common attacks and dangerous situations with effective self-defense techniques.
For a martial arts class to be truly beneficial in real-life situations, it must involve safe, one-on-one work—especially pad work or partner drills. Without one-on-one training partners, it’s very unlikely that a student will develop the timing, reflexes, and technique application needed to defend against a larger opponent or aggressive opponents. That’s why our martial arts training always emphasizes interactive components, providing effective training in a safe, cooperative environment, where light sparring is strictly optional.
Women’s Only Kickboxing Classes at Art of Kickboxing
In Richmond BC, we provide kickboxing classes for women specifically designed for women and teen girls (ages 14+). These women’s only kickboxing classes are led by our experienced female coach and are perfect for students of all skill levels and fitness backgrounds.
Our women’s kickboxing classes are practical based self-defense classes built to help you respond to real-life situations. The average person doesn’t know how to throw a punch or defend against common attacks, giving you a significant advantage when it comes to self-defence scenarios. Our training ensures you learn core techniques that actually work—techniques you can remember and apply under pressure. These beginner self-defense training sessions help develop body awareness, assertive body language, and the confidence in women to stand their ground.
In addition to our dedicated women’s kickboxing classes, students aged 14 and up have full access to all of our other martial arts classes. These include beginner-friendly boxing classes, mixed gender kickboxing classes, Muay Thai classes, and MMA classes—giving you exposure to various martial arts styles and training partners in a bully-free and intimidation-free, respectful, inclusive setting.
