Nelson said to start with a nice and relaxed stance when you begin kickboxing. He also said your dominant side will be behind you, while your quicker side will be in front of you.

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

A punching bag is not necessary, you can do shadow boxing.

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