What is Kickboxing?
At our schools in Livingston (West Lothian) and Uddingston (South Lanarkshire), we proudly teach WKO Kickboxing.
Kickboxing is a striking-based martial art and combat sport that combines elements of boxing and kicking techniques from martial arts. It focuses on using punches, kicks, footwork, and defensive movements.
There are different styles of kickboxing, but most share a few common features:
