kickboxing in the Washington DC area

[jtab]

I just moved into Arlington, VA and I'm looking for a kickboxing school for fitness (primarily to keep my cardio level up and my weight down). I'm not looking for an aerobics class, but something that involves boxing gloves, bags etc. I'm looking for a place with classic kickboxing, with heavy bags etc.

By the way - I'm looking for an intense work out and so forth .. I don't really want to fight anyone. Does anyone know of a gym or school in the area?

Trident Academy is a great choice. I have a friend who teaches CSW and BJJ there. They are a TBA school as well. Great people!

boxing and kickboxing

Thanks for the help. I guess I'm looking for a kickboxing place with more emphasis on boxing and less on Muay Thai. I'm used to going to group classes with boxing drills and kicking drills using heavy bags, rather than a sparring partner.

I may start looking into the boxing gyms in the DC area to see whether they have something I'm looking for.
