Kickboxing gyms

Kickboxing is one of the most popular combat sports in the Netherlands – and for good reason. It combines kicks, punches, combinations and movement in an intense, technically based sport. It is a dynamic way to get fit, release stress and build self-confidence.

This sport is not about aggression, but about control, rhythm and respect. Every kick, every punch is consciously learned and refined. Whether you are training for self-defense, health or to fight competitions - kickboxing challenges you to get the best out of yourself, both physically and mentally.

Kickboxing offers a full-body workout that combines strength, endurance, speed and coordination. Through the intensive combinations of kicks and punches, you work on explosive strength and fitness, while simultaneously burning fat and building muscle.

Mentally, kickboxing helps you to release tension, develop focus and push boundaries. You learn to deal with resistance, control your breathing and build perseverance. Many people experience a stronger mindset and more inner peace after a few training sessions.

All over the Netherlands you will find gyms that offer kickboxing. In cities like Den Bosch, Haarlem, Zwolle and Eindhoven there are gyms for every level – from recreational athlete to competitive fighter. You can go there for group lessons, private lessons and technique training.

Even in smaller villages and regions, more and more kickboxing schools are active. Many of these locations are affiliated with associations or have trainers with competition experience. Via Fightstyle.nl you can quickly and clearly find the gyms in your area that offer kickboxing lessons - including information about lesson times, target groups and trial lessons.

A typical workout starts with a warm-up, often with skipping, shadow boxing and mobility work. Then you move on to kicking and punching techniques, combinations and pad exercises. You train both technique and fitness and often end with sparring or intensive drills.

The training sessions are varied and are adapted to the level of the participants. Beginners start with basic combinations and work on posture, balance and precision. Advanced students focus more on speed, strength and tactics. The atmosphere in a good gym is motivating, safe and focused on growth.
