Kickboxing

Kickboxing is a hybrid martial art that utilizes - you guessed it - kicking and punching. It originated in Japan in the 1960s and started to gain popularity on the other side of the Pacific in the 1970s. Although a legit contact sport, most people turn to it for both self-defense and physical fitness. Kickboxing classes provide a calorie-burning workout for the body and boost confidence as well.
