KICK MO’S BUTT
at Knockout Kickboxing
n This month, Brant
ventured over to West Sixth to visit local favorite, Knockout, for a butt-kicking workout.
W
hen AFM assigned Knockout Kickboxing for my February KMB feature, I immediately contacted a good friend and kickboxing coach, Jason Echols of Echols Fitness here in San Antonio, and asked if he would put me through a couple sessions to get me ready for my upcoming KMB workout. It had been at least a year since I did any kickboxing, and by practicing prior, I was hoping to activate my mind to kickboxing’s unique muscle responses. After all, the trainers/ coaches I work with for KMB are asked to literally “kick my butt,” and it’s my goal to be as ready as possible each time for the attack.
