Kickboxing is practiced for self-defense, general fitness, or as a contact sport.</p> <p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-washtml="1" data-rte-line-start="true" class="MsoNormal" data-rte-attribs=" class=MsoNormal" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1"> </p> <p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-washtml="1" data-rte-line-start="true" class="MsoNormal" data-rte-attribs=" class=MsoNormal" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">Japanese kickboxing originates in the 1960s, with competitions held since then. American kickboxing originates in the early 1970s. 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 hybridization with ground fighting techniques from Jujutsu and Folk wrestling.</p> <p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-washtml="1" data-rte-line-start="true" class="MsoNormal" data-rte-attribs=" class=MsoNormal" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1"> </p> <p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-washtml="1" data-rte-line-start="true" class="MsoNormal" data-rte-attribs=" class=MsoNormal" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">There is no single international governing body. International governing bodies include International Combat Organisation, World Association of Kickboxing Organizations, World Kickboxing Association, International Sport Karate Association, International Kickboxing Federation, World Sport Kickboxing Federation, among others.</p> <p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-washtml="1" data-rte-line-start="true" class="MsoNormal" data-rte-attribs=" class=MsoNormal" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1"> </p> <p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-washtml="1" data-rte-line-start="true" class="MsoNormal" data-rte-attribs=" class=MsoNormal" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">Consequently, there is no single kickboxing world championship, and champion titles are issued by individual promotions, such as K-1, Glory, Lumpinee Boxing Stadium, among others. Bouts organized under different governing bodies apply different rules, such as allowing the use of knees or clinching, etc.</p> <p /> <!-- Saved in parser cache with key tough:rte-parser-cache:2839 --> Loading editor Techniques Kickboxing Below are some commonly used wiki markup codes.
