kickbox

Fight using feet

To kickbox is to practice kickboxing, a combat sport combining boxing punches with martial arts kicks.

The activity can be competitive fighting or fitness training: I kickbox three times a week at the gym.

Kickboxing emerged in the 1960s and 1970s, blending Western boxing with Asian striking arts.
