Kickboxing

Kickboxing is practised in the ring similar to boxing, but includes the use of kicking techniques. Under the World Kickboxing Association (WKA) early champions from the 1970s included Bill Wallace and Joe Lewis where only kicking above the waist was allowed. More recently a much older version from Thailand known as Muay Thai Kickboxing has become popular. It is known for its low kicking techniques, elbow and knee strikes.
