Kickboxing origins

There are many arts labelled kickboxing including Japanese, American, Indian, Burmese, French Savate, etc. Although most of these styles do not consider themselves to be 'kickboxing', the public often uses the term to refer to these martial arts. The term kickboxing is disputed and has become more associated with the Japanese and American variants. The term kickboxing was created by the Japanese boxing promoter Osamu Noguchi for a variant of Muay Thai and Karate that he created in the 1950s. The term was later adopted by the American variant in the early 70's.
