1. This four-part article series provides a comprehensive FAQ guide to kickboxing and why it is this martial art form has become so immensely popular across the United States.
elcome to the third installment of this four-part FAQ guide on kickboxing as a popular form of martial arts in Atlanta. So far, we‟ve looked into what kickboxing is, the age classes it caters to, whether it‟s considered dangerous and what impacts an old injury might have upon one‟s suitability for this form of martial arts. Let‟s look at some more FAQ…
FAQ: Do I need to book a class or can I just show up?
Atlanta Kickboxing Instructor: “This is something that will vary from kickboxing studio to studio in Atlanta. Some are more than happy to accept walk-in clients, while others require you to first book before you can participate. Most studios or gyms are more than happy to have interested people come in and take a look before they decide to join or not, so don‟t hesitate to stop by!
Additional advice is to be aware that there are certain slots during the day that will be busier, so if you can only attend classes after work – which is when most people go – you may need to book in advance. Some kickboxing studios operate on a first come first serve basis, so you also might want to arrive a little earlier. The best course of action is to call and speak to your instructor and find out how the studio works.”

2. FAQ: Is there a difference between the kickboxing taught in specialist studios and the classes held in fitness gyms?
Atlanta Kickboxing Instructor: “Yes there is a difference between combat kickboxing and what is known as „cardio kickboxing,‟ which is also often called Tae-bo or boxercise. For cardio kickboxing, the punching and kicking techniques are adapted into an aerobic routine, which is performed to music. You don‟t actually strike anything and you aren‟t learning how to defend yourself effectively. What you are doing is burning off a lot more calories than you would by simply jogging on the treadmill! Cardio kickboxing offers Atlanta residents a killer workout that is incredibly effective for weight loss and toning.
Combat kickboxing, on the other hand, is more traditional and involves mastering of the fighting and defensive techniques necessary to go up against an opponent. The skills you acquire in the studio will have real world applications and instead of punching and kicking thin air, you‟ll develop more power from practicing on kick shields, punching bags, and focus mitts.”
FAQ: Is there a belt system used in kickboxing?
Atlanta Kickboxing Instructor: “Some kickboxing studios do offer students a belt grading system, which is nice in that it allows you to see your improvement and progress in the color of a sash you wear around your waist. The order from the highest level of achievement in kickboxing to lowest is: black, 3rd, 2nd and then 1st brown, green, blue, purple, orange, yellow and then white.”
