Instructions
Step 1
For classes, you will definitely need a sparring partner, so try to work out with friends, fellow hobbyists. It is best if there are at least four people in your group, then each of you will have three sparring partners, differing in physical data and technique.
Step 2
Determine a place to study; it can be any room that is large enough. A good option is the school gym - talk to the physical education teacher or the principal, you will almost certainly be allowed to exercise in the evenings. In the warm season, you can practice outdoors, in any place hidden from prying eyes.
Step 3
You should know that in kickboxing, boxing training is the basis, so you need to pay special attention to it. At the same time, you should immediately learn to organically combine punches and kicks, otherwise you will become a "legless" or "armless" fighter.
Step 4
At the very beginning of training, it is important to master the culture of movement. When learning specific punches and combinations, pay attention to the plasticity of the movements, their organic nature. Over time, you will learn to feel the correct movements and trajectories - they will be beautiful, filled with strength. Conversely, incorrect movements are always surprisingly clumsy and unaesthetic.
Step 5
Pay attention to the technique of striking. A good punch is not delivered with just an arm or a leg, in which case there is no strength in it. Always use the wave principle, when the striking limb becomes a conductor of force generated in the legs, back muscles and shoulder girdle. Such a blow turns out to be very strong and biting. In this case, you can perform it in two versions.
Step 6
In the first case, the hit is point, the hand or leg is fixed (stopped) at a point located in the opponent's body at a depth of several centimeters. This leads to the fact that all the energy is released in a very limited area. If you deliver such a blow to the face, the opponent does not fly to the side, but falls on the spot.
Step 7
In the second option, the blow is carried out with a carry, the opponent is simply swept away by him. As a rule, such blows follow circular trajectories, so if your opponent dodges you do not lose your balance.
Step 8
Learn to land a series of blows. And not two (one or two), but at least three. Quite a lot of athletes use only double strikes in sparring, which allows the opponent to easily adapt to such a style of fighting, makes the kickboxer predictable. On the other hand, three hits in a row turn out to be very effective, it turns out to be quite difficult to defend or evade the third hit.
Step 9
Practice not only punches, but also a variety of sweeps, while learning to perform them quickly and organically. Keep in mind that if you do a sweep from a static position, it is unlikely to reach the goal, the opponent will easily defend or get away from the attack. Conversely, when a jog is performed after a number of other actions, it becomes very unexpected. It is important that there is no pause between the sweep and the previous actions. The technique of a good fighter is distinguished precisely by its fusion, plasticity, he does not have separate blows and movements. Practice such a culture of movement, and high sporting achievements will not be long in coming.
