A MODERN COMBAT SPORT.
THE HISTORY OF KICKBOXING.
Japanese Kickboxing originated in the 1960s, with competitions being held since then. American Kickboxing originated in the 1970s and was brought to prominence in September 1974, when the Professional Karate Association (PKA) held the first World Championships. Historically, Kickboxing can be considered a hybrid martial art formed from the combination of elements of various traditional styles. This approach became increasingly popular since the 1970s, and since the 1990s, Kickboxing has contributed to the emergence of mixed martial arts via further hybridisation with ground fighting techniques from Brazilian jiu-jitsu and Folk wrestling.
There are many different styles of Kickboxing due to it's vast mixed background. Our Kickboxing class is practiced for the means of combat sport and is based on a Taekwon-Do style with western Boxing incorporated too. The classes are focused on developing skill levels through the ranks of; beginner, intermediate and advanced.
When first starting, the student will begin at novice level (white-yellow belt ranks) then progressing onto intermediate (green to blue belt ranks) before progressing onto advanced (red and black belt ranks). Once reaching Black Belt, the practitioner no longer obtains a new belt colour, but their grade is represented in Dans (number ranks) usually portrayed in roman numeric format on the end of the belt. The highest rank that can be achieved in combat sport style of Kickboxing is a 9th Dan Black Belt.
