Resolving to get fitter in the new year? Why not have a go at some of the best kickboxing classes in Singapore to get you in shape? Kickboxing is a popular self-defence martial art that involves coordination of both kicks and punches with some classes even incorporating aerobics and other Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) like Muay Thai. Afraid of combat sports? Fret not, we’ve included non-combat alternatives below as well for those not fans of sparring!
Kickboxing at Evolve MMA is based on both the disciplines of Muay Thai and K-1 Dutch-style kickboxing. Muay Thai is a combat sport that allows for stand-up striking and clinching techniques while K1-Dutch style kickboxing relies heavily on foot-kicking techniques. Together, you can expect the kickboxing classes here to get intense, fierce but oh so very fulfilling.
With the most number of authentic World Champions available under one roof on the island, there’s a reason why the kickboxing classes here are touted to be one of the best in Singapore. Ready for a glute-tightening, core-strengthening time? Sign up for a free trial class before committing to their packages.
We couldn’t resist including one of their many inspiring testimonial videos! This one is of an 18-year-old MMA fighter and it will surely get you off your butt and moving!
