Kickboxing is also an effective way to relieve stress and frustration. It releases hormones (endorphins) that improve your mood and block feelings of pain.
According to a study conducted by researchers at Oxford University’s Institute of Cognitive and Evolutionary Anthropology, group exercise enhances the effects of endorphins. In addition, working out with a group has an accountability factor and fosters a healthy sense of competition.
