Kickboxing is a stand-up combat sport based on kicking and punching, which developed out of karate mixed with boxing. Therefore, one of the most important goals in kickboxing is to improve your response time and decision-making processes.
Respond faster than your opponent and get your hook knee attack in to get the score.
Sometimes fast is not the answer and you have to make the right decision at just the right moment. Time your slip perfectly to avoid incoming punches.
The time a Kickboxer has to process, analyze and execute the perfect response is milliseconds, which can make the difference between winning and losing.
