This article doesn't clarify the rules for knees in kickboxing. All it says on knees is this: QUOTE: "Kickboxing is often confused with Muay Thai, also known as Thai Boxing. The two sports are similar, however, in Thai Boxing, kicks below the belt are allowed, as are strikes with knees and elbows."
This part doesn't state anything for sure. It does imply knee strikes are not allowed in kickboxing yet nothing concrete. Then near the bottom of the article there is a whole section detailing the kinds of knees used in kickboxing. So are they allowed or aren't they? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.41.159.90 ( talk) 22:18, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
Excuse me, but to whoever wrote that. Please provide reliable references for such a claim. Just because a kickboxing art was developed in X area, it does not follow that another kickboxing art from area B descends from the former.
The reference page provided is very unreliable and quotes many myths such as Bodhidharma being the founder of martial arts in Japan and China as if they were fact. The claims that it is the 'oldest form of kickboxing' and that it is a 'possible predecessor of Muay Thai' should be removed or better references provided. CKava 09:28, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
agreed... muay thai practitioners have their own ideas on what their history is also.
The opening paragraph states that male kickboxers wear boxing shorts, while most full contact kickboxers wear long windbreaker type pants. There's also no mention of different kickboxing rules such as full contact, freestyle, or oriental. There is no nose protection. I am a kickboxer myself and in my training 33% of our kicks are below the belt. I edited the page to say that training does include knees and elbows, because it does.
Check this out dudes...
http://www.k-1usa.net/docs/fighters/fightfinder.asp?fighterID=581 I wonder who has this, but Briggs won in 1 round, good to know, good to try.
Someone needs to go over this article to remove some of the run-on sentences and to correct the lack of commas. 24.92.224.252 20:01, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
Why are people constantly removing factural information. The fact that W.A.K.O is the only kickboxing body recognised by GAISF is true. And to remove it and claim another body is a governing body is untrue and misleading. Please accept the facts and leave them alone.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Richieg-nz ( talk • contribs) 22:45, 21 December 2007 (UTC) If people do not know what they are talking about, DO NOTHING. the article on kickboxing is so misleading and it seems that is has been tampered with so many times by people who have no idea. I don't agree with most of it and i am a kickboxer myself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.44.186.219 ( talk) 16:31, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
Ture, not all facts on this article are factural or related to the primary topic. But reference the GAISF site and it clearly states what organisation it sees as governing the amateur sport. That surely has place on the Wiki. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.72.168.226 ( talk) 08:36, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
It is just me, or is this section just way too big? It looks like a copy/ paste of the "PROFESSIONAL RULES AND REGULATIONS WORLD KICKBOXING ASSOCIATION". I don't want to do a massive delete of the information, but perhaps it could be split off? -- Technotaoist ( talk) 04:47, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
Kickboxing(キックボクシング) is wasei-eigo ( 220.106.174.109 ( talk) 14:55, 11 November 2008 (UTC))
I feel that the Japanese and American kickboxing articles should be merged they don't have any third person sources to justify solo articles. Dwanyewest ( talk) 15:35, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
I realize it isn't easy to tell Muay Thai apart from American/Japanese Kickboxing just from stills (yeah, unless the fighters are ethnic Thais, but that's just suggestive, nothing stops Thais from boxing under American rules, or Europeans from boxing under Thai rules), but it is still itching me that the image in the infobox shows a Muay Thai match. Surely, we can find an image taken at a match under actual kickboxing rules? -- dab (𒁳) 14:35, 4 April 2012 (UTC) People use kick boxing for fun, and for exercise to you keep you health. Many people say it's keep you safe. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rosabaily1 ( talk • contribs) 21:34, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
