Descripción del producto
Whether you learn how to kickbox on your own or through classes offered by experienced instructors, a book for home study is a useful tool for improving your skills. While you can, of course, benefit from material written for men, it is even more useful to have information written wiht you in mind. Some of the challenges that women in sports face are not faced by men, and the inherent skills that many women have - speed, agility and flexibility - are often overlooked in traditional reference books. Kickboxing for Women corrects that problem. It covers all the essentials of learning kickboxing, and it includes tips especially for women. It contains information helpful to beginner, intermediate and advanced kickboxers and covers principles, techniques and drills for the fitness kickboxer as well as the professional kickboxer. Numerous photographs illustrate the techniques so that you can practice them. A resource directory helps you find equipment, supplies and other like-minded kickboxers.
Synopsis
Each year, thousands of people begin kickboxing, and - not so surprisingly - the vast majority of these people are women. It's a great time for this sport, reflected in the number of women of all ages who show up for training classes at gyms throughout the country. With virtually every popular woman's character in movies in television shows exhibiting some sort of kickboxing or martial arts prowess, the trend will probably continue for some time.In addition, thousands more women join related classes, such as aerobox, cardio-kickboxing, Tae Bo and the like. Once these women start learning some of the techniques of kickboxing, they often want to learn more. Whether they attempt to learn on their own or through classes offered by experienced instructors, most kickboxers eventually feel the need to have a skills book to help them with their practice. Most women, however, must purchase books intended for men, since little traditional kickboxing information is directed toward a female audience. While women can, of course, benefit from material written for men, they find it more useful to have information written with them in mind.
