Q#2 from Chi-Town Tiffany, asks How did kickboxing develop from traditional forms of martial arts here in the us?

Great question!!
Most of the time people don't care about the roots or history of stuff, i like to know it origins and bring it forward.

As a result of tournaments in america the competitiors who were trained in Karate from japan, okinawa, hawaii, america blended their arts with boxing and kickboxing.

Some of the early pioneers were great point fighters that crossed over into kickboxing, now a days with mixed martial arts and leg kick kickboxing, grappling blended in some of the greats have small roots in a tradiotional art, but expoloded with the ufc and k-1 and top events.
