What is K1 Kickboxing?
​
K1 Kickboxing is a mixture of certain Thai boxing techniques and traditional full contact kickboxing techniques.
​
The use of elbows, sweeps and throws are not legal. While in the clinch the fighters must be active is allowed vary from 3-5 seconds in which the fighter can use multiple knee strikes. This style of fighting has a very fast tempo, with a large emphasis on movement, boxing and hard kicks to the head, body and legs
