  1. 1 10 FUNDAMENTAL KICKBOXING TECHNIQUES FOR BEGINNERS CREATED BY JIM HAGGERTY

  2. 2 1. THE JAB The jab is a fundamental punch in kickboxing that’s executed with the lead hand. For an orthodox fighter, this would be the left hand for a southpaw fighter, this would be the right hand. It’s not only a versatile offensive tool but also serves as a means of measuring distance, disrupting an opponent's focus, and setting up more powerful combinations

  3. 3 2. THE CROSS The cross punch is a critical element in a kickboxer's arsenal, capable of inflicting substantial damage and often used in combinations to exploit an opponent's weaknesses and secure victory in the ring. Opposite the jab, the cross is executed with your rear hand, which would be the right hand for orthodox fighters.

  4. 4 3. HOOK PUNCH A hook punch is a dynamic and versatile move in kickboxing that allows you to come at your target from multiple angles. To execute a hook punch effectively, start in a strong fighter stance, rotating your hips and shoulders while keeping the elbow bent at a 90-degree angle. Then, swing your punch horizontally in the signature hooking motion, making contact with your target.

  5. 5 4. UPPERCUT In kickboxing, the uppercut is renowned for the element of surprise it can bring to a bout. This punch is uniquely tailored to strike upwards, often aiming for the opponent’s chin or body. What sets the uppercut apart from other punches is its ability to exploit openings in defense, especially when in close proximity.

  6. 6 5. ELBOW The elbow is executed by thrusting your elbow toward your target to create an impactful blow. To generate max power, you’ll want to pivot your hips, rotate your shoulders, and bring your elbow swiftly and forcefully toward your opponent.

  7. 7 6. ROUND KICK The round kick, also known as a roundhouse kick, is the poster child of the kickboxing industry, and it’s probably the move you’ve seen most in photographs or movies. This move is hard to see coming in the middle of combat, and it can be used to aim low or high to surprise your opponent.

  8. 8 7. SIDE KICK The side kick is another essential kickboxing move that can be used to control distance between you and your opponent, or it can serve as a knockout blow to dismantle your competition. Its lateral movement allows you to come at your opponents from the side, offering a tactical advantage.

  9. 9 8. FRONT KICK From the name, you probably can assume that a front kick involves the straight-ahead thrust of the kicking leg, which typically targets the opponent’s midsection or upper body. While this kick is often thrown with the lead leg, it can also be thrown from the rear leg for an element of surprise.

  10. 10 9. KNEE In the heat of a close-range fight, the knee strike can be an incredible tool to have in your kickboxing repertoire. This technique boasts remarkable power and versatility, rendering it a formidable and highly effective move in combat.

  11. 11 10. SHIN KICK The shin kick is a great tool for disrupting an opponent’s mobility while inflicting massive damage. It’s versatility in a fight makes it a go-to move for controlling the pace, wearing down defenses, and creating an opportunity for more game-changing strikes.
