Nelson said to start with a nice, relaxed position when starting kickboxing. He also said that your dominant side will be behind you, while your faster side will be in front of you.

“You want to have a basic stance, basically shoulder-width apart,” Nelson said. “Hands up and then your 1, 2 combo.”

You don’t need a punching bag, you can shadow box.

Nelson to add the kickboxing element, you can do a front kick, step forward, then jab cross.
