FUN, FITNESS, FLEXIBILITY.

Many laymen are under the impression that modern day kickboxing originated in Thailand in fact, the real origins of the sport are revealed by the real name by which it was known, full contact karate. During the mid-seventies various American karate practitioners started looking for a competitive format in which they could use their skills to the full effect, full power punches and kicks.

The development of specialised protective equipment speeded up the evolution of this new sport which became known as kickboxing. Bouts are staged in a boxing ring rather than on the kind of open matting used for karate. Kickboxing allows for as much punching and kicking as possible and as little grappling and clinching as possible. Kickboxing is great for your general fitness, combining aerobic and anaerobic workouts while at the same time developing your corps body strength.
