Why you should join a Women Only Kickboxing class in Birmingham
Importance of physical activity
Physical activity is known to bring about health benefits with substantial evidence that vigorous activity has many more benefits than a moderate activity such as walking would (1). According to the NHS, martial arts (combat sports) are classed as a form of vigorous exercise (2).
Benefits of kickboxing for Women
Kickboxing is a combat sport and has many forms such as Muay Thai and American kickboxing. Training regularly in kickboxing develops long-term physical fitness (3) as well as hand-eye coordination, focus, confidence and self-control.
More women join this martial art due to its many benefits including:
Self defence
Learning kickboxing will equip you with the tools necessary to defend yourself. Confidence, fitness, and new skills are only some of the tools you will gain. You’ll also develop an understanding of when and how to use these techniques to help you escape dangerous situations.
Social aspect
Learning and sweating in a group setting- whether we are distancing or close contact- will allow you to create friends in an ‘all in this together’ friendly environment. You’ll hold each other accountable, giving you that extra push to show up and smash the sessions together!
Discipline
Being present in sessions will allow you to grow as a person and instill confidence and discipline even outside the sessions in your day-to-day life. Developing a stronger mindset will allow you to achieve your goals better.
