Fists-and-feet fighting
Kickboxing is a combat sport combining boxing punches with kicks from martial arts traditions.
Fighters strike with fists, feet, shins, and knees, unlike boxing which permits only punches.
The sport developed in the mid-20th century, blending Western boxing with Asian fighting styles like karate and Muay Thai.
