hello

i started kickboxing before on month

though i am fun of numerous arts for 2-3 years

i start kickboxing only cause i didnt find boxing in area

anyway, instructor isnt a close minded, he has "studied" many arts, and except from training he is learning us more things (out of kickboxing)

like elbows or so, so i dont do strict kickboxing

3 questions

basic stance of kickboxing, is same with boxing?

its been a month in class (we are all beginners more or less) and we havent done sparring yet...isnt it too long?

can the standup clinch be used in ground fight? or totally different

Stance: I can only really talk about Muay Thai stance. It is shorter than boxing stance and hips and shoulders are more 'square' to the front. This way it is easier to use your legs to block kicks.

Sparring: In my opinion you should be sparring. I have complete beginners sparring at the end of their first session.

Stand up clinching: Not the same as ground fighting. It is about footwork and off-balancing your opponent to create openings for knee strikes, elbow strikes and throws.

Hope that helps.
