THAI KICKBOXING
Kickboxing is a form of boxing that relies on kicking and punching and includes a group of mixed combat sports that include Japanese kickboxing, savate, sanda, muay thai and others. Kickboxing is practiced in a boxing ring using boxing gloves, mouth guards, shorts, and bare feet to enhance the use of kicks.
Qualities that a player should have
There are qualities that a kickboxing player must possess, and the most important of these qualities are:
Be patient, as it is not an easy sport, and it cannot be learned easily. You must undergo a lot of exercises, which increases the amount of experience over time.
Strength in kicking, as sharp and decisive kicks help end the match.
Fast enough to decide on the position of the strike at the right time. Having strength alone is not enough for the match to end.
Accuracy of hitting the right place at the right time. Speed and strength alone are not enough at this time.
Being quick-witted and reacting appropriately at the right time, and escaping shots that the player may receive while playing, he must have a quick reaction.
Tips for playing kickboxing
These are some of the basics that the player must know before starting the match in order to achieve victory:
The chin should always be in the down position.
Shooting an opponent is from behind, not directly in front.
Aiming to look in the direction in which the punch is aimed.
The abdomen must be maintained to improve muscle strength and body balance.
Keep your hands clenched in front of your face for self-defense.
Avoid putting pressure on the feet, and if you feel pain, you should stop playing.
You should not stand in the boxer position for more than five minutes.
