I did it for a few years as i got bored of Judo (had been doing it since i was 9!!!) and wanted to learn to defend myself properly being a young single female and all.
Found it quite hard to do the kicks at first but the punches and elbows were easy as i had a lot of steam to let off. I'm quite tall so wasn't as fast as the smaller girls but really enjoyed it. I went to King's School of Kickboxing in Beckenham.
