Anything that combines boxing with kicking is bound to get great reviews. The first thing to remember in kickboxing is that accuracy and speed must be achieved first before power can be attained.

Always remember to aim 6 inches beyond the chin rather than just impact for maximum effect, that is rather than pulling back on impact let your fist carry you further.
