better without realizing it?

This may be the greatest justification for having a teacher. Your teacher acts as an objective (theoretically) observer of your progress. You can never be objective about your own skill.
Even sparring won't tell you everything you need to know about your progress. You might win, but maybe you got lucky a couple of times. Your teacher should be able to see it.
So, not only can you progress without realizing it, I'd say it was the norm in all but the most arrogant of students.

Of course you can. Kickboxing is a great sport (I've kickboxed for 7+ years now, the last 4-1/2 in competition). And we are always our own worse critics. Your Sensei (teacher) should be keeping you informed about your progress and helping you to improve your techniques.

Yup , KJA is right. Also you can guage your own progress by looking at new people coming into the club. When one of my students is concerned about how they are doing , I tell them to look at a beginner and compare themselves. Most new students start out the same (no knowledge) and progress. This gives them a guage as to how they are progressing.

Yes, it happens all the time. Frequently, we are the worst judges of our own progress.

Yes , you usually don't realise your own progress until you look back at what you've accomplished .
