INTRODUCTION
In this presentation I will be discussing kickboxing, its
history, benefits, risks, facts, some players, and the rules
that are involved in the extensive sport. The sport
incorporates the martial arts techniques of karate
alongside the combative punches of boxing, and it has
origins in the established martial arts' intention of
promoting protecting oneself. The Thailand-based
combat sport of Muay Thai, which is renowned for its
elbow and knee attacks, is believed to be its ancestor.
With a variety of techniques and regulating bodies to
keep the kicks and punches within an appropriate
playing environment, kickboxing has developed into a
global sport.

Osamu Noguchi, a well-known promoter, is frequently
recognized as the father or founder of kickboxing. He
established a new martial art and a combat sport where
warriors from karate and muay thai were able to collaborate
in the late 1950s. Noguchi spoke of methods and full-contact
guidelines from Muay Thai to the fundamentals of karate.
Since it incorporated punches and kicks from boxing-related
he termed the newly developed sport "Kick Boxing."After
launching the first "Kickboxing association" in 1966,
Noguchi conducted the first match on April 11 in Osaka. In
addition to being the first person to use the name
"kickboxing," he will be remembered as the founder of the
sport.

“Every day, since I was 12 years old, I have
woken up as a fighter. It is what I do in life. I
wake, I train, rest, train again, go home. That
is my life. It is a very simple life but for me I
think this simplicity and dedication is the
key to victory.”
Anissa Meksen
Meksen, one of among the most accomplished
women in kickboxing, began training at the age of
12 after accompanying her older brother Mehdi to
his kickboxing gym. Despite having two degrees
in sports performance and training technique,
Meksen claims to have been "good in school."
While she admits that in her early years, school
was a top focus, her primary driving force has
always been "to put my name in the story of fight
sports." She has been doing precisely that with the
help of her long standing mentor, head trainer of
Olympique Garennois Boxe (OGB) Benoit Mateu.
“My brother was a kickboxer and I
followed him to the gym. I was 12
years old. At 13 I had my first fight and
became French champion at that age
and weight. Immediately I had the
desire awakened in me to become
undisputed world champion one day,”
John Wayne Parr
Beginning in 1990, John Wayne Parr trained for a few months in his hometown
before relocating to Sydney to pursue his kickboxing career. In order to find a
new gym and begin his kickboxing career, he would relocate to Richmond, New
South Wales, the following year. He would suffer a split decision defeat in his
first fight at the age of 14, but the competitive zeal persisted. By the time John
Wayne Parr was 16 years old, he had made several more transfers before
relocating to Queensland, where he started training under Blair Moore, one of
the sport's top promoters at the time. During this time, he would fight in 30
matches and claim two world championships. He became well-known for
playing the gunslinger during the traditional wai khru ceremonial dance before
his Thai fights as he developed his fighting persona, which helped him gain a
ton of Thai fans. He would become well-liked, and in 1997 he was chosen as the
Best Foreign Fighter. He would compete in three fights at the storied Lumpinee
Stadium during his career in Thailand, one of which took place on the Thai
King's birthday. Returning to Australia in 1999, John Wayne Parr established
his own gym, Boonchu Gym. He would also start to fight in more conventional
boxing matches around this period, winning his debut in 1998. Following his
return to Australia, John Wayne Parr would go on to win numerous world titles
in both kickboxing and boxing.
