The Stand-up Art of Kickboxing
Kickboxing is the perfect expression of stand-up full contact fighting. An accomplished kick boxer is flexible and has full control over the fluid use of his; hands, feet, shins, shoulders, knees and elbows. This type of striking freedom is unsurpassed in any other stand-up form of fighting. There is a certain flow to kickboxing combinations that most other rigid forms of stand-up martial arts lack. In a fight an accomplished kick boxer exhibits balance, agility and a calm command over his opponent. When balanced on the balls of his feet the kick boxer floats and moves effortlessly around his opponent feinting and faking, looking for an opportunity to strike. He probes with a hand or foot jab while he looks to unleash the rest of his arsenal in a multilevel attack that leaves his opponent bewildered and unsure of where the next strike will land. With these powerful and adjustable tools at his disposal he can pick and choose a timed precision strike at any target on the body. This total control and flexibility, gains him the opportunity at any time or, range for a devastating knockout!
Kickboxing for MMA
Kickboxing is also a devastating prelude to any mixed martial arts fight. Kickboxing can set the mood, and a fast pace for an exciting stand-up MMA fight. The shear threat of being hit can become a serious detriment when a fighter feels striking inferiority. If one MMA fighter has the skill and understanding to use kickboxing to his advantage over a less adapt MMA opponent he can seize the moment and take control over a fight very quickly. A knockout can come quite swiftly and end a contest if a grappling oriented fighter is caught off guard too. The grappler is susceptible when he is looking to close the distance. He may be leery or unaware of the danger from range, speed or striking power a savvy MMA Kick boxer can unleash. This may then lead to hesitation or mistakes and cost him dearly. On the other hand, the smart MMA Kick boxer may also use a combination of kicks and punches to set up his own grappling attack by stunning his opponent first before he moves in and takes him down. In addition to this a wounded grappler may find it very difficult to utilize his skills with the shock or damage he has received from blows landed on the way down to the ground. A guard can be more easily passed, submissions are harder to secure, and ground fighting in general becomes more difficult to control with a loss of momentum. Solid Kickboxing for MMA is the first skill and range strategy to take into consideration when fighting in today’s sophisticated MMA circuits!
