Stepping Into The Ring: My First Experience With Kickboxing

March 11, 2015

As someone who hates planning my hair washing days around getting sweaty, and feels like a hamster on a wheel at the gym, I’m always looking for a new activity that can keep me engaged and motivated.

I could make up some lie and tell you that I’ve always been interested in kickboxing, but the truth is I’ve recently seen the Victoria’s Secret models doing a lot of it, and well, who wouldn’t want the body of Behati? Or, the husband for that matter…

I had to give it a try.

It was recommended to me that I check out KB-One Martial Arts in North Vancouver which is owned and operated by a husband and wife who both hold pretty impressive resumes in the field. When I showed up to my private lesson and met Barb, my nerves immediately dissipated. Who knew someone with a third degree black belt could be so approachable?

We spent the next hour doing a variety of things – ideal for a person like myself with the attention span of a goldfish. After a quick skip to warm up, we jumped right into learning some kickboxing fundamentals. Between running medicine balls and sparring, my heart was definitely working overtime! (Note to self: less wine, more cardio.) The highlight for me was undoubtedly channelling my inner Million Dollar Baby when we jumped into the ring.

Off to buy a pair of gloves and wraps today, so I guess that means I’m officially onboard. Let’s hope the VS body follows suit…

Definitely worth checking out! Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee… and all of that…
