Kickboxing Classes in the Bronx

Cardio kickboxing combines elements of boxing, martial arts, self-defense and aerobics to create a high intensity total body workout. This type of kickboxing does not involve physical contact--it's strictly for exercise. The workout offers many health benefits such as increased cardio-vascular capacity, flexibility, decreased stress levels, higher energy levels and endurance.
