Kickboxing
Class Description
Students will learn how to move and control their bodies, increase strength and fitness, and improve coordination and athleticism. They will also learn when it is appropriate to use Kickboxing techniques, how to practice self-control and respect, and to work as a cooperative team member. These skills will not only improve students quality of life, but can enhance performance in other sports and activities.
A typical Youth Kickboxing class begins with a warm-up, followed by a technique demonstration/lesson. Then, students practice the technique with a partner. Students use Thai pads, focus mitts, and/or kick shields to “catch” their partner’s punches and kicks. During class, students will not get hit in the head or body – they will only hit the pads. Pairing students of different levels requires them to teach and learn from their peers. Students improve their communicate skills and practice patience while improving their own martial arts skills. Structured games and sparring exercises put their skills to the test.

Take it to the next level. . .
Students put what they learn into practice during light sparring while wearing appropriate protective equipment. Sparring is a more realistic application of Kickboxing techniques where students apply offensive and defense techniques at a reduced level of intensity and power.
Kickboxing keeps students excited about learning and progressing with a traditional belt system. Students begin as a white belt and work their way towards a green belt. After showing progress, a “stripe” is earned. After 4 stripes, the student knows they are ready to test for their next level belt. Belts are earned, not given. Each belt test has a specific set of moves and techniques that must be demonstrated. The student will know what is on the test and will practice the necessary techniques in the weeks leading up to the test.
