- 1). Choose a style of kickboxing. There are several styles of kickboxing and each has unique benefits in technique. Researching the style of kickboxing that is best for the individual will take some work before any actual training begins. There are styles of kickboxing from all over the world including the United States, France, Japan, India and the Philippines. Indian kickboxing focuses on use of the knee where French Kickboxing allows the opponent to wear shoes for impact. There is also a purely exercise form called cardio kickboxing.
- 2). Find a website that offers online training for the style chosen. There are both free and pay websites available that will detail the movements required and rules associated with kickboxing. K2 Kardio kickboxing is one group that offers online courses for people not available to attend their studio class held in Panama City, Florida. For around $20 a month, the individual is given unlimited access to videos and training tips.
- 3). Follow the instructions provided. The instructors are more aware of possible injury considerations as well as the best way to describe the movements. The person training in kickboxing should not attempt to move ahead of the online instruction.
- 4). Practice, practice, practice. A steady practice routine; daily, every other day or twice a week is all acceptable as long as the individual sticks to the training routine. The K2 Kardio Kickboxing program offers new features and videos weekly. Many physical kickboxing classes meet twice a week or more. These examples should help someone understand the importance of repetition and practice when it comes to training.
- 5). Expand your training. At a certain point, the person training will need to leave their home or individual workout to continue to improve. Whether that person invites someone into their home to spar or finds a class, at some point they must expand the training beyond boxing and footwork drills. There are classes and groups, both public and private, all over the country that work with kickboxers looking to improve themselves.
