What is Kickboxing? What is called Kickboxing today came out of 'Full Contact' Karate competitions in the sixties. Competitors included such fighters as Bill Wallace, Joe Lewis and Chuck Norris. Each had different backgrounds in Karate and Boxing, as well as other martial arts. New fighting styles, techniques and strategies developed out of the need for a comprehensive form of fighting that was effective in the ring. Master Gary Harrison, blackbelt 7th dan, was a founder in promoting kickboxing in the 80s to the Uk.
Kickboxing is a Western fighting method practiced worldwide with the kickboxer using both hands and feet, as in Karate. Because of its realistic, practical method of fighting, it has grown into a popular sport. Kickboxing is similar to 'Full Contact' Karate, as the goal of Kickboxing is to knock out the opponent. Also in Kickboxing, strikes are delivered full force.
Kickboxing combines elements from Karate and Thai Boxing: both utilising strategy and techniques from Eastern Thailand and Western Boxing. It mixes foot techniques from Karate and fist techniques from Boxing. There are four different types of combat competitions; Semi-Contact, Light-Contact, Full-Contact and Low-Kick. Musical Forms are the fifth style of Kickboxing competition. All these systems are the same worldwide and follow precise rules and regulations.
To minimize the risk of injury during Kickboxing competitions, competitors must wear protection for the feet and head, as well as shin guards, boxing gloves, mouth guards, groin guards for men and chest protection for women. Kickboxing competitors use kicks, punches, kick blocks, shadow boxing, and wood breaking that is learned and applied under professional instruction.
While Kickboxing was first developed as a martial art for tournament fighting, it has more recently become very popular with women especially because the Kickboxing workout (Cardio Kickboxing) is excellent for developing body toning and burning fat while also helping students gain confidence in self defense.
