Kickboxing for Beginners: Your First Month on the Mat

Adults

Walking into your first kickboxing class can feel intimidating. It shouldn't. Here's what your first month will look like.

Week 1: Stance and basics

You'll learn your fighting stance, a jab, a cross and basic kicks. Instructors break each technique down step by step.

Weeks 2-3: Combinations

You'll start linking strikes together and working on pads with a partner. Your cardio will improve quickly.

Week 4: Confidence

By the end of the month, most beginners feel noticeably fitter and more confident. Sparring sessions are optional and come later, when you're ready.

One of our reviewers noted she felt totally comfortable as a woman in class. Everyone starts somewhere, and our community is welcoming. Try 2 classes for $20.
