Boxing vs Kickboxing in Abu Dhabi: Which Should You Pick?

Hands only — jab, cross, hook, uppercut. Footwork, head movement, defence. Fewer techniques to master, but the depth is enormous.

Hands plus kicks (and sometimes knees). More techniques, more conditioning load on the legs and hips. Steeper learning curve.

Both burn 600–900 kcal per hour. Kickboxing is harder on the hips and knees in the first weeks because most adults aren't used to kicking.
