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!
Benefits of Kickboxing Fitness 
Kickboxing Fitness can be done by almost anyone. We have programmes to suit a wide range of needs and interests, from juniors and teenagers to adults, senior citizens and even athletes looking to improve their performance. 

A typical Kickboxing Training class works all parts of the body and covers all the major objectives of fitness training: 
  • Aerobic and Anaerobic Conditioning (Speed and Power Training) 
  • Cardiorespiratory Endurance (Stamina) 
  • Fat Loss 
  • Muscular Strength and Endurance 
  • Flexibility 
  • Agility 
  • Balance 
  • Motor Skills and Co-ordination 
  • ​ Reaction Time (Reflexes)

Detailed explanation of benefits covered below!
1)     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
​
2)     Cardiorespiratory Endurance (Stamina) 
  • Continuous punching and kicking on handheld pads and heavy bags at various speed and intensities over a period of time (e.g. 2 minutes) improves cardiorespiratory endurance.

3)     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! 
  • * Separate consultation/fees apply


4)     Muscular Strength and Endurance 
  • The handheld pads/bags act help replicate the effects of resistance training experienced in weight training — so you can also expect to reap the benefits of weight training.

5)     Flexibility 
  • Our stretching sessions — before and after each class — will improve your flexibility and help you better execute your kickboxing moves.

6)     Agility, Balance, Improving Motor Skills, Co-ordination and Reflexes
  • Accurately hitting and kickboxing handheld pads/bags will help you achieve better balance, hand-eye co-ordination, agility and reflexes.
