Definition and Importance of Physical Fitness

Ask ten people the definition of physical fitness and you will undoubtedly get ten different responses. The core components, however, will remarkably be the same. At its simplest point, physical fitness is simply being of good physical condition - what most would call being "in shape". Physical fitness, however, is a complex issue with varying components of physiological, health-related, and skill-related measures. If you're coming to a martial arts school for the purpose of physical fitness, chances are you already have some specific goals and purposes in mind. It may be to increase endurance for an upcoming trip to hike through the Grand Canyon, to increase strength and flexibility for job related duties or sports related goals, to improve your current health condition, or it may just be that you want to be able to keep up with the kids. Whatever the reason, the end result will be directly related to the components listed above. Our classes are designed to strengthen each of these areas of fitness. Considering that most Cardio Fitness Kick Boxing participants can expect to burn an average of 350 to 450 calories per hour...well ? That's a lot of physical training.

Is Self Defense Incorporated into the Program?

It is true that, with proper guidance, one will develop strong punching and kicking abilities. The bag work included in our program will help in gauging proper distance and timing. However, while Cardio Fitness Kick Boxing may help to develop the skills and agility for self defense, realistic self defense training is on an entirely different level and is addressed separately.
