Kick boxing - good or bad?

Thought about signing up for a kick boxing class for the exercise. Can anyone give me advice on this? I have plantar fasciitis and worried about hurting my feet. I can't do any jumping or "pounding" on my feet.
Am I going to get a good cardio workout in the hour? Thanks!

    As with any martial art, you'll get a great cardio workout.

    If your feet can't take a pounding, though, I'd give this a second thought. Perhaps go to one or two sessions and see how it goes?

    You can do kick without jumping, but when I had PF it was NOT the best class for me. There are a lot of quick movements, and you really do have to jump to be able to change directions quickly (well, maybe not in all classes, but in the ones I have taken in the past).

    Could you do a trial class before you sign up and pay?

    When I talked to one of the instructors he said to let them know and they can probably modify some of it for me.
