Q: from sirchad, What martial arts are used in kickboxing?
A: great question and simple, well simple from different points of view.
if you are from ThaiLand your kickboxing uses centuries old fighting arts from villages around 1500's
if you are from america, then your arts are a blend of boxing, with their golves in the early days, plus a karate base or taekwondo base with kicks above the waist we originally called this Full Contact Karate,
if your homeland was france then kickboxing was called Savate (pronounced IPA: [savat]), also known as boxe française, French boxing, French Kickboxing or French Footfighting,

in the classic school (almost new school) American Kickboxing uses Bruce Lee's jeet Kune Do, boxing, tae-kwon-do, areobics, weight-lifting, track and running hills.

New school kickboxing blends leg kicks, Mixed Martial Arts, Brazilain ju-jitsu Submission Grappling

Submission grappling is a combination of all grappling styles, Freestyle wrestling, Brazilian Ju Jitsu, Sambo and Judo. With the growing popularity of mixed martial arts and grappling tournaments competitiors have begun to cross train. You never know what style you might face. The best idea is to be knowledgeable, or better yet, efficient in all of the grappling arts. With the elimination of formal rules competitiors are now able to test their skill in the purest form of grappling. Submission grappling is takedowns, arm locks, leg locks, chokes, balance, and body control. Whatever your background, Submission Grappling has the tools to give you a solid ground game. and all of the others of the past
