What is Ultimate Fitness Kickboxing? The Ultimate Fitness Kickboxing (UFK) Program first began in 2004. At the time, Team Lloyd Irvin Martial Arts & Fitness/NOVAMMA, only had a Muay Thai and Boxing program. Although the Muay Thai and Boxing program was coed, a majority of the classes were male. Where did all the women go? We started asking all the women why they were not returning to class and what had scared them away so to speak. Well, the responses and feedback were not out of the ordinary…too intimidating, partnering in the Muay Thai classes too invasive, don’t like sweating in front of a whole bunch of men, etc. All the UFK instructors are required to learn Muay Thai at the Basic level in order to become UFK instructors. The UFK program was initially designed to “break the ice” for women getting started with kickboxing. Kickboxing is not a new thing. It has been around for a long time and we’ve all heard of Billy Blanks and “Tae Bo.” Well, the idea was to get women comfortable with the school (accepting their environment), comfortable with their fitness level (Muay Thai too hard), and comfortable with what they were doing (being confident of what they were doing in general). We combine fun and a variety of kickboxing routines to keep it interesting, add alot of bodyweight exercises and high energy music to make it fun and challenging! Our standards of keeping it alive, exciting, fun, and challenging will always be the goal. We want you to leave sweating, smiling, and satisfied. Kickboxing will never die. It is the best full body workout and it beats the boredom of the treadmill and riding a bike. It can also be a good complement to other activities. Women who participate in the UFK program are regular practitioners of running, biking, yoga, dancing, ballet, tennis, etc. May you find the passion and enjoyment in kickboxing as we all have at Northern Virginia Mixed Martial Arts & Fitness.
