What is the difference between Kickbox and Shinbudo?
Kickbox is focused on kicking and punching only. It is a great all round cardio and strength work out. Shinbudo is the complete self-defence program. It focuses on all aspects of Martial Arts and fighting. In Shinbudo as well as kicking and punching, there is also throwing, ground fighting and sparring. The best and fastest way to learn how to defend yourself is to learn really good basic hard kicking and punching which is covered in the Kickbox class, combined with Ju Jitsu/Judo and ground fighting which is covered in the Shinbudo class. Both the Kickbox and Shinbudo programs teach basic effective, simple to learn fighting technique. At the same time, in order to really walk with confidence you need to get fit, flexible and centred. Fight Club does all of that plus more.
