Thanks to livingsocial, I have been introduced to kickboxing at Paragon in Santa Barbara.
I've always wanted to do some type of martial art or boxing, so why not kickboxing?
I've taken many a cardio kickboxing classes at the gym. They were fun and kept my mind sharp by changing combos every 3 or 4 counts of 8; however, I never felt like I knew what the heck I was doing. Were my punches right? How was my form?
Well, let me tell you... it was awful. Heck, it still is.
After my first class, I was able to get a one on one basics course for kickboxing... Guess what?! I don't jump rope correctly (see it done right by Rocky himself!). On a more positive note, my punches weren't as far off as I thought and my kicks weren't half bad, if I don't say so myself!
The actual classes were pretty fun. A great way to exercise and relieve stress. This is one thing I may revisit when I feel like I can afford $180 a month on membership...
