Aerobic Kickboxing and Cardio-Karate
 

According to Muscle and Fitness magazine, the fitness industry's largest publication, aerobic kickboxing or cardio-karate teaches the techniques of martial arts without all the serious rituals, uniforms, and belt levels normally associated with the training.

Cardio-Karate has great appeal to women!

According to the National Association of Professional Martial Artists, who regulates Cardio-Karate Programs, "women are very interested in learning to protect themselves while they get in shape."

Cardio-Karate is also a great way for busy adults who are not interested in earning a black belt to benefit from what the martial arts has to offer.  They can dress comfortably and have a lot of fun getting in shape, plus they learn a great deal of self-defense.

Participating in a Cardio-Karate program requires no previous martial arts experience.
