Jack Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 Kickboxing originated with Karate practictioners becoming frustrated with the lack of full contact matches allowed, and created a new sport in which they could utilise Boxing techniques with Karate foot techniques.

TigerKorea Posted September 16, 2002 Author Share Posted September 16, 2002 I am wondering if you guys are confusing with K -1 and Kickboxing.. K -1 is combning all the K's martial arts~ such as karate~ kickboxing~ hapkido~ aikido~ or even muaythai~ and all that.. But!! not many people know that 'Kickboxing' itself is originated from korea.. however it is not that popular and there are not much famous kickboxers of korea that's why you guys are keep on trying to believe it is from karate.. Oh my god!!.. you guys shoud know the truth!! T0T i am a korean boy who will rock korea with my fists may be next 10 years i am already a bruce lee of korea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewGreen Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 Modern Kickboxing originater from karate practitioners as Jack said. Muay Thai came from Thailand. Kickboxing, as in pugilism involving the hands and feet, has been around a lot longer then either. Probably every country could claim to be the creators of some form of kickboxing if you go back in history a bit. Even western boxing allowed kicks at one time. Does that mean the english created kickboxing? How about savate? it allows kicks. See the point? Right now, in north america, their are really two main branches of kickboxing. Muay Thai, and what is often called "American Kickboxing", which has its origins in Karate. Andrew Greenhttp://innovativema.ca - All the top martial arts news!
