| About Kickboxing | ||
Kickboxing has been influenced by a combination of Muay Thai and other martial arts including karate and boxing. Kickboxing is fairly new to the western world - only about 30 years old compared to boxing which is nearly 200 years old. In kickboxing competition the outcome is determined by kick-knockout, knockout, judge's decision or draw, or a technical equivalent of the same, much as in professional boxing. Participants are required to wear padded gloves and foot gear, and must execute a specific number of above-the-belt kicks per round. Chokes, head butts, knee and elbow strikes, biting, holding and striking, and striking when an opponent is down are prohibited.

The NCAS is administered by the Australian Sports Commission, and the Level 1 Martial Arts course is delivered in NSW by the Martial Arts Industry Association (MAIA). |
