It is a contact sport, in which the fighting or combat techniques of boxing are mixed with those of
some martial arts such as karate and Thai boxing. Being thus related to the ancient art of Muay
Thai, but strikes with the elbow and knee are generally not allowed, it is thus similar to modern
Thai boxing or Thai boxing. Although it is not considered a traditional training martial art or gendai
budo par excellence, but rather a combat sport; A kickboxing fighter is a close competition for
other stand-up fighters, who prefer other types of contact sports or martial arts, due to their
physical resistance, forcefulness, and resistance to the blows of their practitioners. It is currently
the preferred system for the development of standing fighting, used in mixed/combined martial
arts or MMA/AMM.
FUNDAMENTAL EXERCISES
Rope jumping.
In fact, it is necessary to coordinate the movements of the arms with that of the feet and, bring
the feet together and begin to jump with a constant rhythm on the toes without bending the legs,
making only the ankles work, then slightly flexing the arms and doing so. spin the rope using only
your wrists.
The guard (of the right-hander).
The guard in Kick Boxing is something personal to each practitioner, therefore there are as many
guards as there are Kick Boxing practitioners.
THE BASIC BLOWS ARE.-
Straight Left (or Jab): It is performed by rotating the left hip forward with a push from
the left leg. The left arm extends forward, taking the shortest path to reach its destination. The
head bends slightly towards the left shoulder, and the curvature of the cervical and thoracic region
is accentuated a little more. It is a blow that serves to maintain distance from the opponent and
"punish" him little by little.
Straight Right Cross: Straight Right: It is done through a strong and short rotation of the
right hip forward and with a push of the foot on the ground. The shoulder will follow the
movement of the hip, throwing the relaxed arm forward the moment the hip has reached the line
of the blow. The return is made quickly, returning the right side, along the same line as the
execution of the blow. It is a very effective blow that produces many KOs
Hook Crochet: It is also a very effective blow, since it can cause a KO if applied accurately. It
can be hit with both hands, on the face and on the stomach. The punch is thrown with the arm
bent in a hook shape and with a semicircular rotation of the shoulder. To obtain adequate
coordination, the strength of the entire body must be used. The Crochet is one of the most
powerful blows when thrown to the body, especially with the left, but it is necessary to pay close
attention when executing it, taking the necessary precautions to not leave the face exposed to the
opponent's punishment.
Swing: It is a long horizontal blow, swinging the arm. Technicians do not recommend it because
the energy expenditure it requires is rarely compensated by its effectiveness. However, beginners
use it as an immediate solution to attack and defend. If mastered, the Swing can be a very hard
blow, since the swing of the arm is accompanied by the propulsion that comes from the shoulder.
However, the amplitude of the movement is a warning to the opponent, and therefore it is more
difficult to specify the blow.
Uppercut (apel): It is applicable with both fists, being a hook that is thrown from the bottom
up, rotating the shoulders and slightly curving the arm. It ends under the chin, in the thorax, in the
pit of the stomach and in the liver. It is always better to launch a direct shot before the Uppercut,
especially if we are at a considerable distance from the opponent since this way we are not left
unattended, running the risk of being counter-hit.
Spinning back fist: It is the only fist blow executed in a different way than the others. This is
done by turning the body backwards and turning around on itself, moving the back foot towards
our back, so that it is forward. You turn your hip and stretch your arm to hit, but sometimes
instead of hitting with your fist, you hit with your forearm or elbow.
There are times when it is performed in a jump, and if it reaches the opponent it can lead to a KO,
since it carries great force. The Spinning back fist is not usually executed directly, but with some
combination of Jab or Direct.
KICKS
The Low Kick: The LOW KICK is a circular kick so it is performed in the same way but with the
following differences:
1. A fist distance is performed: closer than the other kicks.
2. Unlike other kicks, it is performed with the tibia (shin). In Savate (French Boxing) it is done with
the instep.
3. When performed up close, you are exposed to the opponent's punches, so the arm on the same
side must be placed to protect your face.
Round House Kick Circular kick with recoil: The circular kick is the most used in
kick boxing. Performed with both legs at half height or at maximum height, combined with other
kicks and with the fists. It is made up of two important points: one is the strong push of the leg
upwards, and the other is the rapid turn of the foot that is on the ground and of the hips with a
complete turn of the body since the less turn is performed, the worse it will be for the knee.
Front Kick Front kick: The front kick is a leg technique that allows you to quickly combine
your fists afterwards. The knee is raised, keeping the trunk vertical and the guard correctly placed,
extending the leg in front and putting the hip forward. The example shows how to advance with
the stuck leg and gain distance.
Side Kick Side Kick: The side kick, like the front kick, is a kick that serves to stop the
opponent. The execution is the same as for the front, but with the only variation that at the end
you must turn your foot off the ground.
KNEE BLOWS
The knee is a very effective weapon at short distances, therefore, knowing how to use it you can
make devastating combinations, as well as end the fight before the limit.
SHADE
Along with the acquisition of a minimum technical background, one of the most advisable training
methods for anyone approaching this sport is shadow combat, that is, solo combat.
We are able to connect a front kick or a straight right, we are in a position to block, deflect, dodge
a possible attack. To answer these questions, it is enough to visualize a hypothetical opponent,
who has the same skills as oneself. It is, therefore, about imitating a combat in all its aspects, with
its breaks in rhythm, its moments of fatigue and its impetuous attacks.
This combat in a vacuum can be practiced with three variations only with the arms, only with the
feet and obviously combining both.
