Beginning Kickboxing

[bakes0310]

Basically im playing with the idea of doing KB ive phoned up the master ( is that what we call them or is it sensei?) but hes out so ill wait till tomorrow. He apparently by reputation is brilliant, he does KB and karate infact he got my dad onto blackbelt in karate and his reputation is brilliant.
Anyway im gonna go once a week and im really excited ive never done anything like this before
Questions ive got:
Whats my few lessons gonna involve
he does class sessions and private sessions whats better
how do you know your improving cause in karate you have belts

Well ive just phoned up the instructor and he sounds good. My first session is on friday and its going to be a private session for the first one cause thats how he does his inductions. It cost £4.50 a session which seems reasonable and ill be going once a week.

cheers for all the replys

I would like to go like 2 times a week but due to my work hours im only gonna be able to go once a week unless i do a private session each week as well then i could choose my own time then.

Would that be better so:
monday: normal session- ill be taught something new
wednesday: private session- he could make sure im doing it right and improve it

I thought kickboxing was just kickboxing so theres different types then. Could you tell me what they are and whats the difference about them please so i can ask my trainer

Update ive had my induction today.

I started off with some stretches and one of them i done correctly thats supposed to make your wrist stronger and the instructor was impressed as ive never done any martial arts before, and knowone ever gets it right first time.
I then learned 2 punches and 2 kicks and a finally a couple blocks and counters to them. He was over all impressed with them and from the sounds of it i just need to improve my balance a bit when im doing my kicks.
