What are the benefits of learning kick-boxing?

[Angel Saini]

Hi Friends,

I'm gonna learn kick-boxing soon.
I've a big-built not obese though.
Also I've a minor back problem.
Is it okay for me to begin these lessons or not?

[Aliston Clarke]

Actually, i really dont know the advantages or benefits of kick boxing as opposed to regular boxing. Most kick boxers Ive spoken with have lots of injuries and they complain of having many breaks, tears, and ruptures.

Do kickboxers even make the money regular boxers do? Who are the world champions kick boxers right now. Right, no one knows--well I guess someone does. If you have a big build, maybe wrestling would be a better fit.

If you have a big build, maybe wrestling would be a better fit.

Why do you say that?

[jonbey]

If you have back problems then kickboxing is a good option. Wrestling is probably not a good idea, or any other style where you may be thrown or put into submissions. As with any martial art when you start out go at you own pace and build up slowly. If you feel under pressure to do anything that just does not feel right, say so, and if it is expected that you carry on, then obviously that is not the style for you. A good instructor will always try to accommodate students needs.

Depending on where you live, there are amateur kickboxing contests around. Aliston's comment seems to be focussed on professional fighting, but I am guessing you are looking for a recreational martial art? Just give it a go!

Why post a question about kickboxing on a boxing forum anyway?

[jonbey]

Oh yeah, did not spot that. Webmaster removals?

MASSIVE MISTAKE DOING KICKBOXING!!!
i did it for 3 years from age 8 its shite its all fancy ***** moves like karate and kung fu do either boxing or if you wanna use ure legs do muay thai boxing boxing is top and better for fitness too and kickbozing hurts youre back severely

[WildWest.]

Can you tell us what happened with you and your bad experience with kickboxing?

[jonbey]

There are good schools and bad for any martial art. Also some clubs focus on fitness, others on competition. So a competition club will probably be a better system to learn. Not sure how it would cause a bad back though, unless there was some very severe and forced stretching.

[WildWest.]

Yeah I find it hard to believe too. I have been doing MT for about 13 years and my back is fine.

query related to wi-fi

how can i see the security information of my wifi provider in my command prompt?

[jonbey]

oh I see, another one of these. Oh moderator! Mr Mousel, please remove these annoying questions about routers from jessica!

[LAMartialArts]

Depends what your goal is. It seems you're in it for fitness, not competition, right? Both are great for fitness, Kickboxing is going to challenge your felxibility as well as your general body awareness more as well... More linbs to think about and train.

[Scott Bolinger]

kickboxing may help with more flexibility and foot movement and give you a different insite on fighting. Having a wider range of fighting style will help you in both sport.
