'Kicking' to a different rhythm teaches endurance, self-defense
'Kickboxercise' new training technique and form of entertainment
By Ira Dreyfuss The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - Martial arts aerobics is dance with a punch.
The combination of self-defense skills and aerobic rhythms may not ensure victory in a brawl. But, proponents say, it does build a healthy physical confidence and a solid endurance base.
"Most of all, it gives you the conditioning needed for self-defense," said Ken Levy, owner of Ken Levy's Executive Boxing Club of Royal Oak, Mich.
His version of martial arts aerobics, called "Kickboxercise," will teach fighting moves, and the aerobics endurance could let a practitioner outlast an opponent, Levy said.
"What happens with a lot of martial arts is they don't do enough conditioning," Levy said. Martial arts concentrates on practicing moves, he said. "It's more style."
Levy's program is one of many martial arts styles in aerobics.
"The point is to be aerobic in nature and to incorporate self-defense and martial arts techniques with a low-impact aerobic-type routine," said Jill Flyckt, education director of IDEA, a San Diego-based aerobics professional group.
"Personally, I'm not much of a fighter person; I don't feel a need to go out and punch," Flyckt said, "But some people do."
The martial arts programs don't involve a lot of dance-style choreography, which make them easy for nondancers to pick up, Flyckt said. And for some people, they amount to forms of self-expression, she said.
Women can gain confidence from martial arts aerobics. Levy said, "I'm finding they are more sure of themselves."
Martial arts aerobics often uses boxing and kickboxing equipment, such as punching bags, gloves and wraps to protect the hands.
The programs tend to operate in a standard exercise format. There are warmups, martial arts-style aerobic moves and cool downs. They also share with sports, such as boxing, a good deal of rope jumping.
In Levy's program, there's a lot of shadowboxing. But, he also offers a circuit-training routine using heavy
bags, speed bags and other boxing equipment.
Martial arts draws more men than do typical aerobic classes, said Flyckt and Thomas "The Promise" Trebotch of Miami. He developed the "BoxAerobic" program, which he said, combines training elements of boxing and kickboxing.
"Aerobics classes normally draw 90 to 95 percent women and 5 to 10 percent guys," Trebotich said. "When you add BoxAerobic, the average is 60 women, 40 guys."
Martial arts does have some special risks, Flyckt said.
It requires more upper body work than do typical aerobics programs, and the motion of throwing punches may strain some joints, Flyckt said. The moves must be well-controlled, she said.
And the program should be taught by someone who knows aerobic fitness, Flyckt said. Some clubs have hired former fighters who have "more background on biomechanics and exercise physiology," she said.
For instance, a trainer who has the class drop down and knock out pushups, then jump back to do more punches may leave some participants dizzy, Flyct said.

NFL players get settlement from 1987 strike
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Within weeks, about 1,300 pro football players should receive their share of a record $30 million settlement of lost pay when they were unlawfully barred from NFL games after the 1987 strike.
checks from the 28 NFL teams, $10 million in interest and $3 million for lost bonuses and interest.
The National Labor Relations Board said yesterday that the settlement included $17.4 million in game
Fred Feinstein, the NLRB general counsel, said the game checks range from $3,000 to $100,000 per player, many of whom have since retired.
Team reimbursements range from $917,959 by the Chicago Bears and $827,737 by the Washington Redskins to $363,687 by the Cardinals, who
have since moved from St. Louis to Phoenix.
The players association filed charges with the NLRB against the management council and teams shortly after the 24-day strike.
The central accusation alleged unlawful refusal to allow returning strikers to participate in games immediately, relying instead on nonunion players.
