Introduction to Kickboxing

Kickboxing is a stand-up combat sport involving kicking and punching, practiced for self-defense and fitness. It evolved from various martial arts, including Muay Boran and Indo-Chinese martial arts. Techniques include punches like jab and uppercut, kicks like Roundhouse, and defensive moves like slip and parry. Rules vary, with full and semi-contact allowing strikes above the waist, while freestyle allows kicks below the waist. Winners are determined by submission, knockout, or technical knockout.
