What is "Freestyle" Kickboxing?
Freestyle Kickboxing is a competitive sport that typically takes place in a ring with boxing gloves, similar to Western Boxing. It can be practiced for competition, self-defense, fitness, or simply for fun. Originating from various arts including a blend of Western boxing and karate in the 1970s, freestyle kickboxing generally does not allow clinching, grappling, knees, and leg kicks; however, kickboxing occasionally incorporates these techniques depending on the governing body or organization's ruleset. Freestyle kickboxing strongly emphasizes boxing-style hands and martial arts-style kicks above the belt, For those looking for kickboxing in New Haven County, this style offers a dynamic workout, with an emphasis on building overall skill and technique in a motivational supportive environment at Dandelion BJJ.
