Kickboxing Can Help your Coordination
Most of us have to multitask at our jobs all day. We have learned over time to use a pen to write a message, while we talk on the phone, and file a report, all while being surrounded by the many distractions going on around us in the office.
Then we hit the gym. We go in do our cardio on the treadmill, maybe do some core lifts isolating muscle groups and finish off with some planks or other ab work. All of these things are wonderful for our cardiovascular conditioning and muscular strength but fail to address the need of balance and coordination that many of us are missing. As we grow older our balance and coordination become more and more crucial to our long term health.

Kickboxing will address this crucial need. As you learn your body will move in ways it has never before. This will open up new neuro-muscular pathways. You will also be learning to multitask your movements the way you do your busy day. All of the continuous changes in level and foot position will teach your body to balance first then move from position to position as your muscles become stronger and new strikes and attacks are learned.
Most of us as kids learned to be right of left footed all the time. You can demonstrate this for yourself by grabbing a basketball and doing a simple lay up, most people will take off and lay the ball up with the same foot and hand no matter which direction they are coming from. Once you learn to use your whole body you will be less and less inclined to be completely right or left handed.
Kickboxing is going to improve your coordination by teaching you to stand and move for both right footed and left footed attacks as well as changing directions in order to improve your position for a clean strike whether it be from the hands or feet.
Another advantage we gain by taking kickboxing is that our coordination by combining foot and hand movement will steadily improve. We already do this some as we drive but only in a few basic and repetitive ways. As your kickboxing skills improve you will find that your balance is beginning to improve. This is due to the new motor pathways you will be building for all of your muscles as they become accustomed to changing balance and foot position to defend strikes with one part of your body while another prepares to strike.
If you are a young person trying out kickboxing for the first time you will find these new coordination skills will last you a lifetime. Even after long layoffs from physical activity you will find that you are able to retrieve these skills much faster than your friends who spent all their time just learning to move one body part at a time. You will also find it much easier to pick up new skills because you will already have the neuro-muscular pathways open to different combinations of balance and movement.
