To start a professional kickboxing career and compete in world-class competitions and championships, you need to know some of the rules that kickboxing competitions follow.
The list of rules is very long and requires careful study, so we propose to consider only general points in this area. The first thing to note is the age category of the pass. Boys and girls from twelve years old are allowed to compete. In ascending order, from twelve to sixteen years old - these are youths, from sixteen to eighteen years old - these are already juniors. Anyone who is older belongs to the adult category of athletes. Another important point is that if a participant is only eighteen years old, but at the same time he has the first category in kickboxing, he can, if he wishes, perform in the adult category.
The second important point is the mandatory full medical examination of the athlete, weighing him and checking the equipment. In addition to kickboxing, Thai boxing lessons are also prepared for such elements, since the cultures of these martial arts are somewhat similar to each other. Each athlete is informed about his rights and obligations, as well as additional instructions regarding prohibited strikes and the duration of the fight, depending on the age category, are discussed. It is assumed that the athlete should be aware of this even before attending a kickboxing competition, but the order of the event requires adherence to this rule.
The rules include many more different points, such as refereeing, the procedure for calculating points, as well as other, no less important points. Before preparing for the competition, the coach carefully acquaints the potential participant with all the nuances so that there are no questions during the competition. If you just want to start your professional or even amateur career, you still need to know about the basic points of building a fight.
