K-1Kickboxing
K-1 is a fighting sport which fuses centuries of tradition from martial arts such as karate, kung fu, tae kwon do and kickboxing (the "K") into a thoroughly modern and electrifying spectator sport, to determine the single best stand-up fighter in the world
(the "1").
K-1 rules allow fighters from many different disciplines to compete, and the elaborate production values of K-1 events makes these extravaganzas a veritable feast for the senses. Since its introduction in 1993 under the direction of founder Master Kazuyoshi Ishii, K-1 has become one of the world's fastest-growing sports.
Honor and respect rule in the K-1 arena, combatants draw on their finely-honed skills to deliver the artful punches, kicks and knees that have wowed millions and made K-1 the terrific success that it is.
Since 1993 there have been 8 different K1 world champions, most of which have come from a Karate background, the others tend to be Muay Thai practitioners. This is why the DKJ Martial Arts Academy can offer you the best training in what is rapidly becoming the most exciting sport in the world.
