martial arts · combat sport · fitness

Punches meet kicks. Kickboxing blends boxing's powerful punching technique with martial arts kicking moves, creating a complete fighting style that uses both your hands and feet.

Born in the 1950s. Kickboxing emerged in the 1950s as people combined traditional boxing with kicking techniques from Asian martial arts to create something entirely new.

Gear for safety. Fighters wear boxing gloves to protect their hands, mouth guards for their teeth, and fight with bare feet so they can deliver kicks with speed and power.

Many different styles. Kickboxing has several styles around the world, including Japanese kickboxing, Muay Thai from Thailand, and Savate from France, each with its own special techniques.

Train for many reasons. People practice kickboxing to get super fit, learn self-defense skills, compete in matches, or just have fun while getting a great workout.
