Are There Benefits in Cardio Kickboxing for Self-Defense?

- Cardio kickboxing is a popular form of exercise, but is it effective for self-defense?
Some may say cardio kickboxing is just a dance class with puffy gloves, but I say it deserves more respect.
No-I’m not saying a cardio kickboxing class practices the most effective self-defense techniques ever developed, but even a little time spent adopting the mindset of fighting back is a big step in the right direction.
The fact is most people don’t think about self-defense AT ALL, which only makes them more vulnerable!
So, I say something is better than nothing… and cardio kickboxing is definitely something!
Let me know if you agree!
Keep fighting for a happy life!

In my opinion, being fit is the first part of self defense, even if you just have the ability to run away or dodge attacks than.
BUT always keep in mind, even if you learn proper form, being fast and maybe getting reflexes in Cardio Kickboxing, a punch at a opponent will probably hurt your fist and wrist if not trained against "solid" objects beforehand!
Wise words. Thank you!
@@AndoMierzwa Thank you
I train in Jeet Kune Do and the main emphasis is pressure testing techniques to really get the feel of utilizing it under pressure. On the side I like to train in some sort of cardio kickboxing just to have fun with something. From my perspective, any training type has something going for it. I guess you really just gotta make it work for yourself.
Amen, Travis. Make it work for you! 👍🏼
Fantastic! 👏🏽 cardio kick boxing will at least condition the body to move in a more combative way 👍🏾
Agreed! 👍🏼
You're absolutely right! (as always) I like you're style!
I appreciate that. Thank you! 🙏🏻
@@AndoMierzwa All thanks to you :)
Great video. I started cardio kickboxing back in October and go once a week. While I know I'm not a world class fighter, I have at least improved my fighting abilities even if it's just 25%. I know how to jab, t cross, hook and uppercut. The trainer even told me from back when I first started, he's seen great improvement. I'm staying in shape, my stamina is good and probably better at age 36 than 25.
I did take the next step and took a single class with a Golden Glove fighter. Just based off what I learned in kickboxing, I was able to translate it to the real boxing class. And whatever I learned from that day, I've been using it at cardio kickboxing. So yes, by taking those kickboxing classes, you're already putting yourself ahead of many people who know NOTHING about how to throw a single punch.
Love it! Slow and steady learning. Keep up the good work! 👍🏼
@@AndoMierzwa Thank you!
I agree if you look at it from the perspective of versus nothing...then I guess you can say cardio kickboxing is not a waste of time for self-defense. HOWEVER...for that matter, yoga, weightlifting...even a dance class will be better than nothing for self-defense.
True! Connecting with your body and staying in shape are always advantages. We can dial it in from there. Thanks for the comment!
Thank you Andy for all your videos, they help me alot in life!
That makes my day, Jay! 🙏🏻
How embarrasing, I mispell your name Ando! Hehe.. By the way I share your channel to all my friends and family👍👊👍
@@jayvoncrunx8287 All good, Jay! Thanks! 😁
I take kickboxing to augment my Kenpo training. It builds up endurance in my arms and legs. And it’s a great cardio class as well.
Thanks for the vote, Gerry! Happy training to you!👍🏼
Same .. Cardio Kickboxing actually makes me so more practice on my kenpo strikes and improve my cardio as well. I learned how to ounce better and sidekick better
@@artbunker Makes sense. Carry on! 👊🏼
I would say that while without sparring you really can't get into the mindset of an actual fight cardio boxing or kickboxing as an addition is actually a very good idea. i don't do martial arts other than hitting the bag or the pads from time to time but i don't do it consistently and that is the only way to really improve. but i can still deliver a strong cross have a decent jab and a good kick. the problem is I can't do it for a long time. not if I'm doing it all out. proper technique will allow you to pace yourself little bit more and still deliver decent power but to keep both the power and the tank full is challenging. when I was younger I had good stamina I can still walk fast for miles without getting tired at all (at less its hot) but when I have to do something that requires fast explosive action I can't do it for a long time. and if I did cardio kickboxing (I don't really know what that is but it has cardio in it and it might be something like shadow kickboxing I'm not really sure) if it is what I think it is it could probably really help my stamina and right now this is what I need the most.
I think that’s a fair and open-minded breakdown, Bart. Develop whatever attributes you can any way you can. Especially as we get older! Keep up the good work! 😄
@@AndoMierzwa What is your crass, and brutally honest opinion on the controversial mixture of Muay Thai + Peek-A-Boo + Judo combined? Would such a combination of combat styles be considered LETHAL???
@@OtomoTenzi A fork can be lethal… all depends on who’s wielding it. 😄
Does point kickboxing help for self defense
I am glad to meet a person like you on RUclips
Thank you for your guidance and help
God bless you with love
Thank you for the kind words! Bless you, too! 🙏🏻
@@AndoMierzwa Omg!I am screaming can't believe you replied...😭 Watching your videos and seeing your response is like a dream
I am highschool student
I have been watching your self defence series since last week and it helped me to deal with bullying.
You are a great person.
Your videos are going to help a lot of people like me.Thank you Guru
Sorry about the bullying. But I’m so happy you’re training to protect yourself! The world needs good people like you! 👊🏼
I really agree with this. Even a little of this can make us hold our bodies differently. When we hold our bodies differently our emotions are affected positively. So even a little kickboxing is good.
Absolutely right! Thanks for the positivity! 😁
Does point kickboxing help in self defense
@@truthhurts6327 I'd say anything is better than nothing!
@@AndoMierzwa that’s true I been doing point kickboxing for about year now it help me keep distance in street’s fights
@@truthhurts6327 Awesome! Happy training!
A friend enrolled her son to kickboxing to lose weight :D As always great content.
An excellent idea! Thanks for the comment! 🙏🏻
Awesome
Thank you, Mary!
@@AndoMierzwa your welcome 🙏
Totally agree. It also depends on the school. I've been in kickboxing classes that were all about the martial application, use of center, effective guard, etc, and I've been in classes that could only be described as "dance boxing" -- good for cardio and nothing else, but that was the goal of that particular fitness center. I MUCH prefer the former, but that's specific to my goals. Though I admit even then it wasn't my primary mode of self-defense training -- still just an add-on for cardio, but I appreciated that it still focused on practical defense applications to the extent that the medium allowed.
It sounds like you understand the full spectrum, Dave! Happy training!👍🏼
Sensei you are rockstar
Ha! Well, I know a couple of chords and am not afraid to play them loudly. Thank you! 😄
@@AndoMierzwa you played it thrilling yet detailed
Really enjoyed it
@@San_Dude Thank you kindly! 🙏🏻
Interesting. I agree with you and connect with what you say, because I had the exact same attitude when I was younger and learned how much I was wrong later. Funny that you are probably 2 decades older than me and we had in our lives highly similar experiences and lessons that we have learned. Now cardio work is very important, sparring is very important. One shouldn't be on the back of the other because balanced training under good teacher is what I think everybody need. Hardest cardio work I had was from my crazy bastard Kung-Fu Sifu. That guy didn't just let us run, running as a warm up is normal. No he let us run on different kinds of surfaces- Sand when it's hot, grass, asphalt, rocks, huge wood columns we had to run and jump on and all bare foot. It made my legs so strong it was amazing. I am not saying I would do the same to my students when I will have them, but good cardio work made me stronger. When we were sparring it was with minimal defense- Genital protection and mouth piece and that's it. You know what it does? It makes you highly resistant to body shots. Of course a strike to the liver is a fight finisher but to other parts, I took some decent strikes and I didn't even feel it. And what I mean that I didn't feel it, for non martial artists who might read this and not to understand- Not that I don't feel the contact of punch or a kick to my body, it's just not effective enough against me in order to do damage.
Contact conditioning definitely has its place in getting over the shock of taking a hit. Not everyone does it safely, but it’s still a good idea! 😄
@@AndoMierzwa You couldn't be more right. When I get the chance to teach one day, full contact in a careful way will be big part of my training. I won't limit body shots, face yes head no. This is the best combination I think.
@@eranshachar9954 Good plan!
Absolutely.
Appreciate the input! 👍🏼
What about point kickboxing does that help for self defense
@@AndoMierzwa I think my phone had a wobble when I posted, I'm a huge fan of cardio kickboxing and point scoring karate, and absolutely can't stand the "it doesn't work" no experience brigade 👍
@@CJ-uf6xl Understood! 😁
If your thing is competitive martial arts in a ring with rules divided into rounds then all cardio work is good, I would take that as a given! Also, I can see no downside in getting fitter and therefore healthier, As for self-defence, the older I get (! am 70 next year) the more I believe in what old-style Karate used to say about one punch finishing! I sincerely hope I will never have to defend myself but my conclusion after training in several arts since my teens, is I would try to hit a vulnerable target, (Eyes, Throat, knee joints etc) with as bloody hard a shot as i can muster using two or three knuckles of a tight fist, to the chin or what I believe some kung fu schools call a leopards paw to the throat or perhaps finger jabs to the eyes with a low side kick to the knee. At my age jumping around is out of the question and i sincerely believe having a small number of techniques with the ability to use them if I had to makes me more dangerous an opponent that when I was in my 20s practising TKD and believing (Wrongly I now believe) I could defend myself with ease!
Hi Steve! It sounds like you’ve made peace with aging and have only gotten wiser. Keep up the good work! 👊🏼
Hi Sansie Ando, how much weight training should I do along with MMA?
Training is a VERY personalized project depending on your goals, current condition, and experience. I would only be guessing!
Have you seen Kuntao, kudo, Taido, Chun Kuk do, Hema
Yes I have. 👍🏼
Hey I sound like that
HA! 😄
Kickboxing was my gateway into karate. Kickboxing helps with stamina which is not nothing. As a matter of fact, that's how the school recruited new students.
Excellent. Thanks for the input, Holden!
too much bad guys have good martial arts training and many of them are extremely thorough and aggressive, so any preparation you do will be helpful if you have a conflict with someone who wants to hurt you, " the chances of crossing with someone like that depends on where you live and where you go "
True words. Thank you!
@@AndoMierzwa
i forgot to mention that any hard cardio or even soft we do will be very helpful at any confrontation or even if have to run, and i believe like you said that the most intelligent way to deal with physical threats is to avoid it, because even if you victorious at end you can have serious damages and injuries.
thank you for your valuable teachings, respect.
@@user-vp7ly2iq7j Respect to you, too!
It is surprising to see people punch or kick a bag for the first time. At least doing cardio kick boxing ranging is practiced as well as throwing a better punch. Even for the person that says "Oh I just do this for my cardio, I'm not interested in fighting". One hundred thousand punches thrown punches later they have to learn to throw a better punch despite their best efforts not to.
If they’re paying attention at all, I agree completely. Thank you for the comment, Ric!
true. in highschool i had kickboxing classes. i was not interested in competing for fighting in tournaments. just loved the workouts.
Any fighting system in the world is useless without training on a live opponent.
I’m still saying they’re not COMPLETELY useless. Thanks for the counter, sir!
I tried hands on I got slappped
Slap happens.😄
@@AndoMierzwa I landed up looking like a famous Dutch painting
I say NO. more merit to cardio kickboxing than doing a kata or poomsae all day. End of the day at least your physically hitting things. pads bags etc
Fair enough! Thank you for the comment!
