Is cardio kickboxing legit or should i go to an actual boxing school?

Question

I wanted to take up cardio kickboxing at a martial arts school. But im not exactly sure if cardio kickboxing teaches you legit boxing.

I want to actually learn to box and use it practically instead of having some excercise routine to lose weight.

Is cardio kickboxing for me or is it just another fad to lose weight.

If its not right for me then is there any sort of boxing school near brooklyn?

Answer 1

Its just a workout class...you wont learn any actual boxing techniques, but I could be wrong about that....call and ask em.

Answer 2

most cardio kickboxing does not teach you how to fight and most will in fact give you bad habits for fighting. there are lots and lots of boxing and other fighting schools near Brooklyn and in Brooklyn just search in the yellow pages, online, at whitepages.com, boxinghelp.com, or you could even send an email to Melanie Ley at amateurboxing.com and ask her and she can find you many different gyms in Brooklyn
