Is kick boxing also kind of boxing?Here do they use their feet instead of their fists.But they wear gloves in normal boxing,do they wear something to cover their feet?

well
to be very honest, i have never heard of kick boxing.It would be very amusing to watch these fights.I think they would be using something to cover their feet too.

Surely there is this kind of sport, though I have not seen but there is a movie also related to this.I have read that kick boxing is considered to be a good workout too.

I think that they are wrapping their feet with clothes or just a shoe to go along with their gloves. I do know that there gloves is not the same as the normal boxer would put on whenever they are fighting.

I recently found out that Brandon Vera's wife is into kick boxing.She was a part of a reality show:Fight girls, aired by Oxygen TV.In this show a number of girls stay together and get trained for upcoming kick boxing championships in Thailand.

there are many forms of kickboxing, thai, savate, yaw yan, and many more. Although its funny when you said a gloves in the feet? as the kick is not in the feet itself. If you kick someone you need to hit them with the shin not the feet or your broke your feet. I did sanshou when i was into mma and its a chinesse kick boxing. I have a small muay thai background also.

This must be the reason why Brandon Vera has got her. It makes sense because Brandon likes street fight and her wife also likes to fight. They are a match.

I don’t think that I will get a wife who likes to fight like that because she might beat me up, LOL.

Brandon the truth vera trains in city boxing i used to see him around in pinoymma forums sometimes. And he tapes in the tv show kamandag here in the philippines that just end today. He is a great striker and a amazing grappler just look what he did with the former UFC champ frank mir and almost beat tim sylvia.

There's different types of kickboxing. There's Muay Thai, which in recent times have become quite popular with the increasing popularity of mixed martial arts. It originated in Thailand.

yeah nowadays i am hearing a lot about kick boxing specially muay thai.Muay thai has escalated in popularity in the Western world and is appreciated by its fans as a means of fitness training, competitive sport, and self-defense.

yeas i agree with you. kick boxing is very similar with Muay Thai (Thai's own martial art.) And with this sport, fighters are able to more effectively use their elbows, knees, feet and fists than in other martial arts.

I've never kickboxed before so I have no idea. However, I do box alone with my fists in my freetime.
