Advantages: everything

Disadvantages: none

I used to be a black belt in karate when I was only fourteen, but on problem I had was that I was always embarrased to use what I learnt in karate lessons in everyday life because it looked a bit stupid. That is why I took up kickboxing.

Kickboxing teaches you how to defend yourself properly and is in a similar style to that of a streetfight where you can use your elbows and knees. It also looks good which is a great relief and means you can actually use it in a real life situation and not worry about how much of an idiot you look.

I think that kickboxing is probably the most enjoyable martial art around. There is a huge amount of variety involved which prevents any boredom due to repetition, and there is also much more sparring than most other martial arts. In my opinion this is what makes it the best self defense class to attend, because through sparring you are almost acting out and practising a real fight. This way you are able to sharpen up your reactions and learn where you are vunerable and ways to prevent vunerability.

Kickboxing is also a very aggressive martial art and concentrates on attack just as much as defense. Other martial arts such as Shotokan Karate tend to focus mainly on defense, which is all good and well, but your never going to scare off a drunk attacker simply by blocking his punches are you?

If you are thinking about attending a self defense class then I would highly recommend kickboxing. Its not expensive at around £4 a class and is great fun. It will also improve your social life by allowing you to meet many new people and perhaps make some good friends.
