Self-defense kickboxing classes can teach students techniques and skills to help them defend themselves in various situations. Kickboxing is considered one of the most effective martial arts for self-defense because it allows students to attack and defend themselves from a distance or in close quarters using their hands, knees, elbows, legs, and feet. Classes can also help students improve their overall fitness, including their strength, balance, coordination, speed, and reaction time. Sign up for your FREE class on the Rec Portal.
