Boxing & KickBoxing – What’s The Difference?
Kickboxing – you kick the heavy bags. They are both full-body workouts. The reason there are weight classes in fighting is because you learn to put your whole body weight behind everything you do (you punch and/or your kicks). We recommend that you try boxing first.
