Kickboxing: From Initiation To Knockout

Kickboxing: From Initiation To Knockout comprises a series of short books with focus on learning specific techniques and strategies for the exciting sport of competition kickboxing. With plenty of pictures, each book breaks the material down into bite-size pieces that allow you to practice to perfection.

 

 

The Jab
The Jab discusses basic jabbing strategy for sparring and competition, choosing your targets and using the jab as a distraction, and using lateral movement to establish superiority. It emphasizes distance and timing. Understanding distance, and timing your jab correctly to your opponent's movement, allows you to control the fighting arena and create openings for your stronger rear hand.

 

 

The Cross, Hook, And Uppercut
The Cross, Hook, And Uppercut explores the three commonly used power strikes: the rear cross, hook, and uppercut. It includes discussions and training exercises on long and short range fighting, closing distance and gapping as appropriate, and using broken rhythm and sensory overload for opening up targets for the knockout.

 

Stance, Footwork, And Basic Movement
Stance, Footwork, And basic Movement teaches how stance relates to power and movement and the inherently weak areas of the human body. Movement is always used to avoid an attack or position for a counterattack. The fighter who controls footwork typically controls the fight by dictating what, when, and how.

 

The Front Kick, Roundhouse Kick, And Side Thrust Kick

The Front Kick, Roundhouse Kick, And Side Thrust Kick covers the three basic kicks that are also considered the most frequently used and practical kicks for competition kickboxing. Throwing a powerful kick is not as simple as lifting your foot off the floor, thrusting it at the target, and expecting the desired results. If you don't possess good technique, your chances of success are slim.

Blocks, Parries, And Defensive Movement

Blocks, Parries, And Defensive Movement explores the techniques and purposes of good defense: protecting you from harm, making your opponent pay a price, destroying his fighting weapons, and creating opportunities for offense through timing, positioning, and use of momentum.

 

Short Range Fighting

Short Range Fighting covers how to move from long to short range successfully and how to throw strong short range techniques from the in-fighting zone, while dominating the ring and pressing your opponent to the rear. It also covers defense on the inside and how to control your opponent until the finishing blow can be launched.
