This Fight Fit routine, Kickboxing Workout 8, was designed to help aspiring hybrid heroes train some of the essentials in kickboxing that can help improve overall strength, endurance, speed and agility.
Anime often showcases some incredible and entertaining martial arts skills, where characters will train rigorously to unlock their true potential. Some characters may showcase their skills by sparring with one another such as when Goku and Vegeta go head-to-head or some may spend their time with intense shadow boxing like when Baki imagined fighting a praying mantis. Although we don't have the ability to shoot energy balls or defy gravity to take our sparring into the sky, we can still train hard enough to reach max intensities through some conventional, real life training. This fight fit routine, kickboxing workout can help you feel like you're training to be the hybrid hero of your own anime universe.
