Relax and Breathe While Kickboxing

Tip: Relax and Breathe While Kickboxing

Breathe, breathe! Don’t be so tense when kickboxing! A common problem with beginning kickboxers is that they tend to tense up and take too few breaths. 

When you are in your fighting stance, about to do a combination of moves, don’t tense up and do all the moves while only taking one breath. One of the most essential kickboxing techniques is relaxing and breathing deeply. When you do this, your body flows more easily and your movements will tend to be more fluid and natural. Take a breath with each punch and not only will you be kickboxing more smoothly, but you’ll need fewer breaks between combinations.
