What should a consumer look for in a good kickboxing class?
This is good and bad. It shows you just how popular kickboxing is but the clubs are using the same instructors that were teaching step last week. The instructors in the gyms need to have either a solid 6 months of true martial arts training or an extensive specific kickboxing training course from a martial arts club. Kickboxing uses techniques from the martial arts. These techniques are simple in some ways and very intricate in others. Your hip position, your foot position, your base leg, your spine alignment, and many other details affect your technique. It takes much practice over a long period of time to fully understand them. I would recommend going only to a martial arts school based class, unless you are completely confident in your club instructor’s credentials. Then be careful that the Martial arts instructors aren’t doing weird moves that may hurt you either. REMEMBER, IF THEY MAKE YOU DO THINGS THAT HURT DON’T DO IT AND DON’T GO BACK.
