Hello Ashleigh, Kickboxing offers a great cardio workout, an opportunity to socialize, increase weight loss, improve balance and stress reduction. If you’re just looking for a cardio workout (kicking and punching a bag), Kickboxing would be great for you but so would many other sports and health related activities. That’s why Kickboxing is done primarily in health clubs. The bottom line comes down to this, what are you looking for? If you’re looking for practical self-defense to defend yourself against multiple attackers and those attacking you with different punches, grabs, knives, guns, clubs and from many angles then Kempo gives you many more practical tools to use. If your car broke down and two mechanics showed up to help you, who would you want to pay to help you before the other one left? The one with just a hammer who will beat on your engine and hope that something good will come of it or the one that comes with hundreds of tools to fix the problem(s) many different ways?
I had a girlfriend do kickboxing in a health club years ago. It is good for a cardio workout and nothing more.
