RHF 122 - Aerobic Kickboxing

Blending boxing, kicking techniques, aerobics, pilates, yoga, and a dash of middle school gym class, this course integrates these elements into a fast paced cross training program. Fundamentals are first introduced via a “techniques” format set to music. Later in the semester, students transition to impact striking, using target pads to develop power, speed, and accuracy. The course embraces several mantras, including “know the thing, do the thing” and importance of focusing on each activity and technique to maximize the benefit of the work out. Proper warm up, stretching and cooling down techniques are also incorporated. Because skill and fitness development is an objective of the course, students must attend and participate in class activities in order to pass. The Department reserves the right to request written medical clearance for participation.
