what is kick boxing

Kickboxing is a full-contact combat sport and a form of boxing based on punching and kicking. It is practiced for self-defense, general fitness, or for competition. The fight takes place in a boxing ring, normally with boxing gloves, mouth guards, shorts, and bare feet to favor the use of kicks. Some styles of kickboxing include Karate, Muay Thai, Japanese kickboxing, Lethwei, Sanda, and Savate. Kickboxing is an all-rounded fighting style that has both long-range and short-range striking techniques, and it also covers offensive and defensive movements. It is an umbrella term for a wide range of combat and martial arts styles. Cardio kickboxing is a non-competitive, aerobic fitness exercise that incorporates kickboxing techniques and movements. It is a cardiovascular-focused exercise inspired by the kickboxing sport with less impact and involves no sparring. The benefits of kickboxing include stress relief, improved cardiovascular health, and increased strength and flexibility.
