Kickboxing for Beginners: No Sparring Required

Soda City Combat Club

Kickboxing for Beginners: No Sparring Required, Soda City Combat Club in West Columbia

The most common reason people never try kickboxing is that they think they will have to get hit. You will not.

A beginner kickboxing class is technique and conditioning. You learn stance, footwork, the jab, the cross, the round kick. You hit pads held by a partner or a coach, and you hit the bag. You sweat a lot. Nobody hits you.

Ready to try a class? Your first one is free.

Sparring is a separate, optional thing that happens later, with gear, at a controlled pace, only if you want it. Plenty of our members train kickboxing for years and never spar. Plenty of others try it once, love it, and end up on the fight team. Both are fine.

Come in, hit some pads, and see how it feels. The first class is free.
