Kickboxing is a type of workout and sport that combines punching and kicking. It’s a mix of boxing and martial arts, usually done with music or in a training routine.

There are two main types:

fitness kickboxing - for weight loss, strength, and stamina (no fighting).

sports kickboxing - for competition and self-defense (with techniques and sparring).

It helps improve your full body strength, burns fat, builds confidence, and is great for stress relief. Anyone can learn it with proper training.

The main difference between kickboxing and taekwondo is in their style and focus:

Kickboxing:

• Combines punches and kicks.

• Focuses on power, speed, and full-body strength.

• Used for fitness, self-defense, and competition.

• Has different styles like Dutch or American kickboxing.

Taekwondo:

• Focuses mainly on high, fast kicks.

• Less use of punches, more about flexibility and technique.

• Traditional martial art with belts and forms.

• Popular in the Olympics as a point-based sport.

In short:
Kickboxing = full-body, practical, powerful
Taekwondo = fast kicks, flexible, more traditional
