About this course

An introduction to the discipline of Kinesiology through the activity of cardio kick. Dynamic kickboxing techniques are used to provide a level of conditioning for both the aerobic and anaerobic systems at an intermediate level. The freestyle interval format combines boxing and kicking drills specific to martial arts and kickboxing integrating the element of mind/body, readiness, visualization, and reaction at an intermediate level. Students will participate in a safe, modifiable, program to improve overall fitness, agility, balance, strength, and endurance at an intermediate level. An historical examination of cardio kick for fitness and its roots in the sports of kickboxing, boxing, and martial arts will be included.
