With summer upon us we are bringing you a little feature article detailing the key benefits of joining ladies kick boxing classes with LJJ.
Martial Arts and Ladies kickboxing offer a wide range of benefits, both physically and mentally. Here are some of the key advantages:
Fitness and Weight Loss: Kickboxing is a high-intensity workout that combines cardio, strength training, and flexibility exercises. It helps burn calories, improve endurance, and promote weight loss. Regular kickboxing sessions can contribute to overall fitness and help tone muscles
Self-Defence: Kickboxing is a martial art that teaches self-defence techniques. Learning how to throw punches, kicks, and knee strikes can enhance your ability to protect yourself and boost your self-confidence. It equips women with valuable skills to handle challenging situations and increases personal safety in every day life and when traveling.
Stress Relief: Kickboxing is an excellent stress reliever. The intense physical activity and the release of endorphins during exercise can elevate your mood and reduce stress levels. Punching and kicking pads or bags can serve as a cathartic outlet for built-up tension and frustration.
Increased Strength and Endurance: Kickboxing involves various techniques that engage different muscle groups, leading to improved strength and endurance. Regular training can strengthen the core, legs, arms, and shoulders. As you progress, you'll notice enhanced stamina, increased power, and improved coordination.
Improved Cardiovascular Health: Kickboxing is a cardiovascular exercise that gets your heart pumping and increases your lung capacity. It helps improve blood circulation, lowers blood pressure, and reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Regular practice can contribute to a healthier heart and overall cardiovascular fitness.
Confidence and Empowerment: Kickboxing empowers women by building self-confidence, self-esteem, and self-discipline. The challenging nature of the sport and the progress you make through training can boost your belief in your abilities and improve your body image. Feeling physically strong and capable can have a positive impact on all aspects of life.
7. Releasing of unresolved emotional load and trauma stored in the body - vigorous physical exercise has proven benefits on mental well being and can help to release emotional scars from the mind and body. Engaging in a group class of like minded women can help with recovery from traumatic past experiences such as emotional or physical abuse. This is proven to have therapeutic soothing effects on domestic violence survivors.
Community and Camaraderie: Joining a kickboxing class allows you to become part of a supportive community of like-minded individuals. Training with others who share your goals creates a sense of camaraderie, motivation, and accountability. The social aspect of kickboxing can make the experience more enjoyable and encourage you to stick with it.
Coordination and Flexibility: Kickboxing involves a combination of punches, kicks, footwork, and defensive manoeuvres that require coordination and agility. Regular practice improves your motor skills, balance, and overall body control. Additionally, the dynamic movements in kickboxing help enhance flexibility and range of motion.
