North America
Count Dante, Ray Scarica and Maung Gyi held the United States' earliest cross-style full-contact style martial arts tournaments as early as 1962. Between 1970 and 1973 a handful of kickboxing promotions were staged across the USA. In the early days the rules were never clear, one of the first tournaments had no weight divisions and all the competitors fought off until one was left. During this early time, kickboxing and full contact karate are essentially the same sport.
The institutional separation of American full contact karate from kickboxing occurs with the formation of the Professional Karate Association (PKA) in 1974 and of the World Kickboxing Association (WKA) in 1976. The impact of the WKA on world martial arts as a whole was revolutionary. They were the first organised body of martial arts on a global scale to sanction fights, create ranking systems, and institute a development programme.
In the eighties, many fighters defected to the rival World Karate Association (WKA) because of the PKA's policy of signing fighters to exclusive contracts; plus, the PKA sanctioned fights exclusively with what has become known as "full contact rules" which permit kicks only above the waist as opposed to the international rules advocated by the WKA which is similar to kickboxing promotions in Japan and other countries in Asia and Europe. Because of the cost vs. revenue contracts within the PKA, many of the promoters also left the organization and formed the International Sport Karate Association (ISKA) in 1985, and in the late eighties a struggle for control of the PKA developed between the Quines and equal partner Joe Corley, leading to the decline of the organization as a business entity.[12] The right to use the organization title was afterward contested.
The International Kickboxing Federation (IKF) was founded in 1992. It is the most active kickboxing sanctioning body in North America and one of the top 3 worldwide organizations. The IKF also hosts the Largest All Amateur – Full Contact & Muay Thai – Kickboxing Tournament in the World, the IKF World Classic.

Kickboxing Exercises bag
Shadow boxing image by Andrei vishnyakov from Fotolia.com
The heavy bag is an integral part of the training regimen of kickboxing, used to develop an understanding of distance and increase strength, technique, fitness and energy. Heavy bags come in a variety of shapes and weights, but as kickboxer should use a bag just above the soil penda at least have the height of a head to provide a target size of a real opponent who will attack all levels in the body.
Pre heating with heavy bags
Before going into the round over intensity and technique and strength, with the bag in hot short rounds hitting the bag fast and smooth. Place a timer to complete one minute rounds with 30 seconds rest. In the first three rounds strip hand combinations, alternating short, cross and hook. Add nods, turns back and pay attention to footwork. Run in place or jumping rope during the "rest period. & Rdquo. In the last three rounds, incorporates kicks, knees and elbows as the body warms. It ends with a round of shadow before moving to the next set of exercises.
combinations
For three-minute rounds, develops various combinations you can use in the ring. Pay attention to your distance from the bag and the exact space you need to keep banging hard. Start with hand combinations and incorporates slips and crashes to simulate defensive techniques. You can throw combos short, cross and hook, a slip inside and finish with a hook. Move outside after each combination and get ready for the next batch. In the second round, including kicks and combinations that are used specific tactics. For example, a short strap and a cross to push "opponent" again and ends with a swing to the thigh, stomach and head. The third round should incorporate punching bag and throw knees to the stomach. Increases the number of rounds as you gain fitness.
energy
The blows strongly used in the last 30 seconds to a minute per round. Generally it is used in cardio kickboxing and wrestling conditioning. For the last part of each round, punches and kicks as hard as you can without neglecting your technique. Proper technique is always going to increase speed and strength and should never be penalized for "wind-up punches otherwise increases the time you hit the bag as hard as possible.
Training cops
The kickboxers hit their shins for several reasons. A: This is the hardest part of the leg and therefore, can be very harmful. Two: you are less prone to get injured when hit with your faucets because legs heels and other bones in the foot are vulnerable to injury. It conditions your shins repeatedly hitting both legs. Make rounds of three minutes to blows at all levels: thighs, stomach, head and each leg. If your shins get Doloras or bruised, cold ponles. It will take time to recover to kicking hard and painless.
Book of Kickboxing

Thecnique
Punching
Punching techniques are very much identical to boxing punches, including
Jab – straight punch from the front hand, to either the head or the body, often used in conjunction with the cross
Cross – straight punch from the back hand
Hook – rounded punch to either the head or body in an arching motion, usually not scored in points scoring
Uppercut – rising punch striking to the chin.
Short straight-punch usually striking to the chin
Backfist usually from the front hand, reverse-back fist and spinning back-fist both usually from the back hand – are strikes to the head, raising the arm and bending the arm at the elbow and then straightening the arm quickly to strike to the side of the head with the rear of the knuckles, common in “light contact”.
Flying-punch struck usually from the rear hand, the combatant hops on the front foot, kicking back with the rear foot and simultaneously extending the rear hand as a punch, in the form of "superman" flying through the sky.
Cross-counter a cross-counter is a counterpunch begun immediately after an opponent throws a jab, exploiting the opening in the opponent's position
Overhand (overcut or drop) – a semi-circular and vertical punch thrown with the rear hand. It is usually when the opponent bobbing or slipping. The strategic utility of the drop relying on body weight can deliver a great deal of power
Bolo punch – a combination of a wide uppercut/right cross/swing that was delivered seemingly from the floor.
Half-hook – a combination of a wide jab/hook or cross/hook
Half-swing – a combination of a wide hook/swing
Kicking
The standard kicking techniques are:
Front kick or push Kick/high Kick – Striking face or chest on with the heel of the foot
Side kick – Striking with the side or heel of the foot with leg parallel to the ground, can be performed to either the head or body
Semi-circular kick or forty five degree roundhouse kick
Roundhouse kick or circle kick – Striking with the front of the foot or the lower shin to the head or the body in a chopping motion
There are a large number of special or variant kicking techniques, including spinning kicks, jumping kicks, and other variants such as
Hook kick (heel kick) – Extending the leg out to the side of the body, and hooking the leg back to strike the head with either the heel or sole
Crescent kick and forward crescent kick
Axe kick – is a stomp out kick or axe kick. The stomp kick normally travel downward, striking with the side or base heel.
Back kick – is delivered with the base heel of the foot.
Sweeping – One foot or both feet of an opponent may be swept depending upon their position, balance and strength.
Spinning versions of the back, side, hook and axe kicks can also be performed along with jumping versions of all kicks
Knee and elbow strikes
The knee and elbow techniques in Japanese kickboxing, indicative of its Muay Thai heritage, are the main difference that separates this style from other kickboxing rules. See ti sok and ti khao for details.
Straight knee thrust (long-range knee kick or front heel kick). This knee strike is delivered with the back or reverse foot against an opponent’s stomach, groin, hip or spine an opponent forward by the neck, shoulder or arm
Rising knee strike – can be delivered with the front or back foot. It makes an explosive snap upwards to strike an opponent’s face, chin, throat or chest.
Hooking knee strike – can be delivered with the front or back foot. It makes a half circle spin and strikes the sides of an opponent
Side knee snap strike – is a highly-deceptive knee technique used in close-range fighting. The knee is lifted to the toes or lifted up, and is snapped to left and right, striking an opponent’s sensitive knee joints, insides of thighs, groin
Defense
There are three main defensive positions (guards or styles) used in boxing. Within each style, there is considerable variation among fighters, as some fighters may have their guard higher for more head protection while others have their guard lower to provide better protection against body punches. Many fighters vary their defensive style throughout a bout in order to adapt to the situation of the moment, choosing the position best suited to protect them.
Slip – Slipping rotates the body slightly so that an incoming punch passes harmlessly next to the head. As the opponent's punch arrives, the boxer sharply rotates the hips and shoulders. This turns the chin sideways and allows the punch to "slip" past. Muhammed Ali was famous for extremely fast and close slips.
Bob and weave – bobbing moves the head laterally and beneath an incoming punch. As the opponent's punch arrives, the boxer bends the legs quickly and simultaneously shifts the body either slightly right or left. Once the punch has been evaded, the boxer "weaves" back to an upright position, emerging on either the outside or inside of the opponent's still-extended arm. To move outside the opponent's extended arm is called "bobbing to the outside". To move inside the opponent's extended arm is called "bobbing to the inside".
Parry/Block – Parrying or blocking uses the boxer's hands as defensive tools to deflect incoming attacks. As the opponent's punch arrives, the boxer delivers a sharp, lateral, open-handed blow to the opponent's wrist or forearm, redirecting the punch.
The cover-up – Covering up is the last opportunity to avoid an incoming strike to an unprotected face or body. Generally speaking, the hands are held high to protect the head and chin and the forearms are tucked against the torso to impede body shots. When protecting the body, the boxer rotates the hips and lets incoming punches "roll" off the guard. To protect the head, the boxer presses both fists against the front of the face with the forearms parallel and facing outwards. This type of guard is weak against attacks from below.
The clinch – Clinching is a rough form of grappling and occurs when the distance between both fighters has closed and straight punches cannot be employed. In this situation, the boxer attempts to hold or "tie up" the opponent's hands so he is unable to throw hooks or uppercuts. To perform a clinch, the boxer loops both hands around the outside of the opponent's shoulders, scooping back under the forearms to grasp the opponent's arms tightly against his own body. In this position, the opponent's arms are pinned and cannot be used to attack. Clinching is a temporary match state and is quickly dissipated by the referee.

Arbitrating
Much like boxing, there is an arbitration panel composed of three arbitrators minimum table, or judges, and a referee who steps into the ring.
There are different ways to score, but the most widespread is the score based on 10 factors. Is tied 10-10, 10-9 wins the corner with 10 points, and 10-8 for large differences in level, and when there is a count. Generally used "cuentapatadas" to ensure that it is at least kicking assault. There are several rules on the matter, according to the organization, but usually is allowed to "recover" kicks in later rounds.
The ring referee is the one who has the last word, and must be supported by judges in cases of doubt. Generally there are a couple of additional figures, as the center referee, leading the sum of scores. A timer is essential to stop the count in case of downtime and ring the bell when the assault begins and ends.
The rules of competition for amateur kickboxing categories dictate a maximum of three rounds of three minutes but may vary by organization. Generally for championship finals are three rounds of two minutes, and for exhibition bouts can be done in two rounds.

kickboxing, is divided into six modes for competitive rounds, divided
into weight categories: semi-contact, light-contact, full-contact,
kickboxing, K1, and Thai Boxing. According to the different federations or associations.
Semi-Contact: It is a form of combat to the point where the two wrestlers fighting in order to achieve the highest score marked number of strokes and their scores using legal techniques with speed, focus and concentration. The main feature of semi contact technical gestures are unique and fast. The type of contact is usually semi executed with a very mild level of contact, controlling the movements of attack and defense. The techniques of punches and kicks, are strictly controlled. Valid points are achieved banging and legal areas. When the fighters are going to start, hit his gloves and get ready to start the match referee, time will only be stopped when the referee tells you to give some warning to fighters or talk to the judges table, or rate technique executed. This mode is very similar to karate competition fighting Do the point where you can make the bumps fists with both legs and in the head and in the trunk, and legs cut way to sweep. Within this type of karate competition is governed by the World Karate Federation, which encompasses the four traditional styles of modern Japanese karate, Shotokan, Goju Ryu, Wado Ryu and Shito ryu, worldwide.
Light-Contact: The competitions are often executed very well controlled technical gestures in combination. In the form of light contact fighters fight continuously until the central referee pronounce "STOP" or "break". Techniques are used full contact (boxing punches, kicks some karate or taekwondo), but these techniques must be well controlled to hit with and legal areas. The Light contact has been created as an intermediate form between Semi and Full Contact. The central referee does not judge the fighters, only responsible for enforcing the rules, fights can be developed in a tatami or in a ring. No low kicks to the thighs or low kick, or knee or elbow punches, foot sweeps, or holds or releases.
Full-Contact: The KBFC (Kick Boxing Federation of Champions) states that the form of full contact kickboxing Light Contact differs mainly in two important aspects: the first is that it includes the vast majority of techniques from boxing, karate, and Taekwondo, but open hand hits, and include other techniques such as spin fist and leg sweeps. And the second, more important is finding the knocked out or Knock Out (KO) the opponent. Remain valid also scores scored by punches and combinations. But restrictions remain in relation to: the low kicks to the thighs or low kicks, blows knee or elbow, and holds or releases.

K1: is given by the famous tournament of the same name held in the city of Osaka in Japan, which is the world's most famous tournament in the form of combat on foot, and the more money you pay the winners. This embodiment is equal to kickboxing, however there is greater freedom to a larger number of strokes knee, and the use of grips for connecting knee hits, although there is a time limit to the duration of this type of grips , the opponent's neck or trunk.
Thai-Boxing: This is the highest form of contact, and hardness. Including boxing punches, kicks penetrating muay thai, hitting with elbows, throws, and holds to connect punches knee or elbow. Also look for the knockout, also remain valid scores scored by punches and combinations. This mode is nearly identical to compete in Muay Thai, except that usually does not include the philosophy of art based on animism, and Theravada Buddhism, the rituals and mystique of the legendary martial art belonging to the ancient kingdom of Siam , now Thailand, southeast of Asia.
Rules :)
There are different rules kickboxing, depending on the type, organization / association / federation and the type of event, be it amateur or professional. Common rules for the largest organizations are generally:
Are valid all leg attacks on thighs, inside or outside, slamming the tibia or instep. Known as low kicks. There are also high roundhouse kicks, and half height, as well as other kicks: the front, descending, descending the oblique, in turn kicks, front kicks and hook, but several of these are very dramatic but ineffective in combat because they are complicated and allow the opponent the lace, block, dodge or deflect, so often seen in the later rounds if knocked out or "knock out" KO is no longer possible, in order to win points.

What is Kick Boxing?
Kickboxing (in Japanese: キック ボクシング), is a contact sport from Japan in which techniques are mixed fight or boxing match with some martial arts like karate and Thai boxing. Being well connected with the ancient art of Muay Thai, but hitting with the elbow and knee are generally not allowed, so similar to modern Thai boxing or Thai boxing. Although not considered a traditional martial art training or Gendai budo par excellence, but a combat sport, a kickboxing fighter is a close race for the other fighters fight standing, who prefer other types of contact sports or arts martial, for endurance, strength, and endurance to the blows of its practitioners. He is currently the preferred system for the development of the fight standing, used in mixed martial arts or MMA combined / AMM.
The
kick boxing, has its origins in Muay Thai, also called Thai Boxing,
although the latter name has more to do with the sports version of Muay
Thai.
At
first, launches and other karate blows own traditional Japanese
techniques were valid in kickboxing and; talonazos techniques to calves
and holding arms to strike with elbows and knees, which are valid in the
Traditional Muay Thai. Subsequently,
these techniques were no longer used and considered as invalid, or were
regulated in a purely sporting and competitive discipline.
Kickboxing Association was founded in Japan soon after. The kick boxing was a success, and became very popular in Japan, and soon was broadcast on television. Tadashi Sawamura was one of the first known kickboxers at the time. When this is removed, the "boom" in Japan and spent Kickboxing lost its popularity. The kick boxing has not come back on TV since the K1 apereció on stage in 1993. In 1993, as Kazuyoshi Ishii was (old kyokushin karate master and founder of Karate Seidokan) created the K-1 under special kickboxing rules (no elbow without grabbing the neck). The kickboxing became famous again today.
Notably, despite their roots sport can not be considered a martial art but just a contact sport or sport ring, as it has no or promulgates a philosophy, and that technically takes boxing and leg techniques very similar to that of thai boxing aside the belief that adopts techniques of Taekwondo legs since they are in their execution percutadas unlike techniques of kick boxing and legs which are pervasive in its execution (clear example of this is circular kick kickboxing main weapon in the arsenal of techniques which leg hits the warm end of the semi-flexed leg which gives the leg a pervasive effect similar to a baseball bat, which is ideal for a ring sport in which it is permissible for the knockout with hands or feet, unlike other traditional martial arts which seeks percussion and effect snap leg techniques). Note that in some Japanese karate styles themselves as kyokushinkai, or shotokan also used front kicks, circular, or lateral penetrating to a greater or lesser extent. There are also other categories today.

Materials needed for practicing kickboxing
The materials needed to start practicing kickboxing are on one side, sportswear, preferably shorts and a shirt that offers freedom of movement in the shoulders. Besides clothing, are often used gloves or mitts. Since the first few weeks are usually taken to test to see if we like the activity, you should use only cotton bandages, sold in rolls and are quite cheaper than gloves.
The rest of the equipment needed is usually found in the gym or training site. If this were not so, you should buy a mouth to protect teeth, and a groin protector and a shin. With these materials we would have covered more areas of impact and could start practicing kickboxing.

Daily training
This depends on each one as some people have more strength and endurance than others. Do not worry that they will resist enough time.
To begin we will warm: Let's do 15 minutes of heating, 5 minutes of jogging, 5 minutes and 5 minutes trotting side throwing punches.
With respect to the last 5 minutes of running and throwing punches, blows are not anything we have to get on your guard: the inside of the forearm close to the body and fists covering the chin (pear) and then stretch the straight arm with clenched fists.
ABDOMINAL: starting with doing 3 sets of 20 crunches (I repeat, do not worry that with time they will be able to do 100 crunches without stopping). After the position used for abdominal legs turn to the right until it touches the floor (both legs) and do 15 abdominal side (for beginners, nerds) and others 30. Then we repeat the same exercise with the left leg. This is to exercise the muscles of the sides.
After looking up we'll put your hands under the tail and we will lift the legs to an angle of 90 degrees (more or less) of these, beginners can make 20, the other 30.
PUSH: Let's put ourselves in position (the body has to be completely flat, some people will do anything) nerds will get 30, others 50. With enough time will be able to do 100 pushups without stopping.
These exercises have to be done every day because if we do once a week is not going to do any good.
Now to the most important techniques to get us one or two off and spend chabones nights of lust!. As says Dolina, everything a man does is to stand minitas.
ONE TWO: The one-two is a very basic technique, and I think should know, since it comes from boxing kickboxing is a combination between boxing, kicks, elbows and knees.
We put on guard, the inside of the body attached to the side forearms and fists covering the chin, legs slightly bent and left leg will backward, the foot is placed horizontally. First stretch the left arm (stroke) and then the right, this must be referred only to the second hand outta must already be covering us again.
HOOK: This is similar to the one two but this time not out pineapple but comes straight side, you have to practice a lot because if you do not hit with the knuckles could we fracturarnos wrist.
Paralytic: The paralytic is a very important kick in kick boxing and can cause great pain to our poor opponents. We put on guard, but this time instead of putting the left back can put the right, turning kick and throw the whole body, the most important thing is to put all the weight on the kickstand and rotate until the fingers are Looking back, turn it in conjunction with the body. The kick should always go sideways and stick with the tap. In paralatica we hit three parts of the leg, calf, thigh or knee, the knee is a kick where it hurts.
KICK TO THE RIBS: This kick is similar to paralytic our goal is only the torso, the ribs. For this kick need greater elongation, therefore we will take longer to master.
KICK TO THE HEAD: Same as the previous two but it's going to start doing when we master the other kicks and elongation of utmost need, so make this kick depends on your dedication and effort.
Clarifications:
Ideally, you buy some equipment like a bag bag and gloves
