is it??I do not know I have not done it for a long time but I really enjoy kick boxing iam doing it 3 times a week. I feel the time pass very quickly, I really hate the gym and I find it repetitive but kickboxing so far it has been fun.

Everyone tells me kickboxing is fun and a great workout .. which reminds me *taps belly* i need to get rid of this, too much beer and mutton makes a deadly diet!!

trust me you are not alone, i do not have beer belly but i have put on weight while been stressed with my studies and sitting in the pc for over 16hr a day. kickboxing put me in great shape in no time. i start doing karate few years ago but i got bored easily and i gave it up. i know i will stick to kick boxing, because it is great fun, espcially if some one is in your mind to kick then what best way taking it out in the punch bag

another one which seem fun but iam not that flexible for it yet is capoeira ? it is amazing brazlian martial art, a fight ??a dance!!!

WOW! the list of wanting to be in "kickboxing" is getting longer. Enjoy ladies!

It's really effective physical fitness.

Does he really do the Martial arts os is it just acting along with a stunt man?

By speaking about martials arts, I am into a new discipline : Artistics martial arts also know as Musical Form or Trickz (you can see some on www.bilang.com) and as I am coming to Dubai next year, i would like to know if anyone interested by organizing a training crew for freestyle martial arts/parkour, that kind of stuff...
Anyone ?
