About Kickboxing Training
About Kickboxing Training
Around the world, kickboxing isn't just a full-contact sport — it's also often practiced for self-defence and, in recent years, general fitness. Combining hand-eye coordination, core control and cathartic moves, kickboxing is a great way to improve physical health and fitness, leading to weight loss, improved body strength and stress relief.
At Active Zone, our classes are done primarily for general fitness — the "fight" element has been removed from our Active Kickboxing programmes. Active Kickboxing classes are taught by highly-qualified and experienced instructors. Everyone can join our classes — NO EXPERIENCE IS NECESSARY.
Our classes are done in pairs. If you don't have a partner, our instructors will make the necessary arrangements for you to be partnered with someone. It's a great way to meet new people... While working on your fitness goals!

Detailed explanation of benefits covered below!
01
Aerobic and Anaerobic Conditioning (Speed and Power Training)
Punching and kicking handheld pads and bags at various intensities allows for:
- Aerobic conditioning (speed training), achieved by working on handheld pads/bags at high reps with 30-40% maximum strength.
- Anaerobic conditioning (power training) obtained by working on shields/heavy bags at 80-100% maximum strength

Fat Loss
- The intensity of these workouts will keep your heart rate up and the calories burning for a few hours after every class. Together with advice from our nutritionist*, you can expect further weight loss and achieve your desired body composition (weight and body fat percentage) in a few months!
