On December 20, 1959, a Muay Thai among Thai fighters was held in Tokyo Asakusa town hall in Japan. Tatsuo Yamada, who founded the "Nihon Kempo Karate-do", interested in Muay Thai because he wanted to perform Karate matches with full-contact rules since practitioners are not allowed to hit each other directly in karate matches. At this time, it was unimaginable to hit each other in karate matches in Japan. He has announced his plan called "principles of project design and the creation of a new sports industrialization" in November, 1959, and he proposed the tentative name "Karate-boxing" for this new sport. It is still unknown whether Thai fighters were invited by Yamada, but it is clear that Yamada was the only karateka who was really interested in Muay Thai. Yamada invited a Thai fighter who was the champion of Muay Thai (and formerly his son Kan Yamada's sparring partner), and started to learn Muay Thai. At this time, the Thai fighter was taken by Osamu Noguchi who was a promoter of boxing and Muay Thai are also interested. Thai fighter's photo in the magazine "The Primer of Nihon Kempo Karate-do, the first number" published by Yamada.
There is a "Karate vs. Muay Thai fights" February 12, 1963.

Japan won 2-1 at the time. Muay thai Noguchi studied and developed a combined martial arts Noguchi named kick boxing. However, throwing and butting were allowed at first to distinguish it from Muay Thai. This was later repealed. The Kickboxing Association, the first kickboxing sanctioning body, was founded by Osamu Noguchi in 1966 soon after Then the first kickboxing event was held in Osaka, 11 April, 1966.
Tatsu Yamada died in 1967, but the dojo changed its name to Suginami Gym, and kept sending kickboxers support to kickboxing.
Kickboxing boomed and became popular in Japan which began to be broadcast on TV. Tadashi Sawamura is the beginning of a very popular kickboxer. However, the sudden blast finish and became unpopular after Sawamura was retired. Kickboxing never seen on TV until K-1 was founded in 1993.

In this situation, the boxer attempts to hold or "tie" the hands of the opponent so that he is unable to throw hooks or uppercuts. To perform a play on words, the boxer loops both hands outside the opponent's shoulder, scooped back under the arm to capture the opponent's arms tightly to his own body. In this position, the opponent's arms pinned and can not be used to attack. Clinching is a temporary match state and is quickly disseminated by the referee.

There are three main defensive positions (guards or styles) used in boxing. Within each style, there is a lot of variation among fighters, as some fighters may have their guard higher for more head protection while others have their guard lower to provide better protection against body punches. Many fighters vary their defensive style throughout the fight to adapt to the current situation, choose the most suitable position to protect them. Thank you for reading this article.
