If there’s a martial that evolved from other various martial arts and is garnering raves for its many purposes, kickboxing would be that specific sport. This martial art is a fusion of various other fighting styles such as boxing, muay thai and karate. It is entirely made up of a series of kicking and punching moves and considered a hybrid martial art because of the adaptation of styles and elements from traditional martial arts. Japanese and American kickboxing originated in the 1960s and 1970s. Modern kickboxing is governed by various sporting authorities such as World Association of Kickboxing Organisations, International Sport Karate Association, and World Sport Kickboxing Federation.
