It’s time to punch, knee, kick and elbow your way to great health and lower stress!
Everyone has heard of kickboxing, but where exactly did it come from? Kickboxing is a relatively new sport—originating in Japan in the 1960s and progressing to the United States in its current American form in the 1970s. In the early years of the sport, kickboxers borrowed some of the rules and the infamous gloves from boxing and adapted them into what we all recognize as kickboxing today. The sport now looks like a combination of boxing, traditional karate and the Asian martial art of muay thai. If you feel you would enjoy a great workout with amazing mental health benefits, O Athletik is the premier choice for technical kickboxing and cardio kickboxing classes in Houston.
How Our Kickboxing Classes Are Structured
One of the most common misconceptions surrounding kickboxing is that an individual must already “be in shape” before starting classes. This is not true! We have individuals of all fitness levels start classes with us and succeed in ways they never thought possible.

We work with each individual in order to help them achieve their desired goals. Whether you wish to start a regular workout regimen, add an exciting facet onto your existing exercise plan, or simply learn a rewarding athletic skill, kickboxing could be the choice for you.

This is particularly true for kickboxing. Along with punching and kicking your way through any stresses and anxieties you may be feeling, this sport also sharpens your mind and the ability to make quick decision-making skills.
