Dropped Kickboxing after 9 months — honest about why

I trained Kickboxing for 9 months and then stopped. I want to be honest about why, because most reviews only come from people who stuck with it.

timing kicks within combinations was a bigger issue for me than I anticipated. My gym also had a culture problem — a few people had developed an ego around their checking leg kicks knowledge that made sessions uncomfortable. The sport itself isn't the issue. The jab-cross-kick combination is genuinely interesting and the cardio from three-minute rounds is real. I'm open to going back to a different gym. The sport deserves a better environment than I found.
