kickboxing & stamina

[3hitKO]

what are everybodies opinions when it comes to boxing/kickboxing building toughness or stamina

I understand it depends on how much you train but I was just wondering in general

One of the best ways out there to improve stamina and get tougher. Forceing yourself through long rounds of bagwork and rough sparring sessions. You'll get more stamina and get a good second wind. Half of it though is just getting use to the motions after endless practice your body just gets really efficent at it and any martial art will give you that, but a lot of what I've seen is that kickboxing gyms train alot more towards stamina then other types of martial arts.

kickboxers are known for being tough

Definitely a good choice for building stamina and strength. It does depend on how much you do but I would think any amount would be beneficial in some way.

^^ yeah for the firt year when i trained i only trained once a week at class and a bit my self maybe 2 or 3 days a week and i got so much fitter i think thai and kickboxing are most def the best to build your stamina.

Not really doing kickboxing that much myself - but looking at how alot of my friends train - i would say its definitely up at the top of the list when it comes to fitness in the MAs
