SURELY the term 'Kickboxing' is merely a general (or umbrella) term for a variety of kickboxing-type sports:-

- Full Contact is Kickboxing
- Low Kicks (or Freestyle) is Kickboxing
- K-1 Rules (or Oriental) is Kickboxing
- Sanda/San Shou is Kickboxing
- Savate is Kickboxing (Combat or Assault, i forget which)
- Muay Thai is ??? Well i would label it a Kickboxing sport
- And lots of other systems http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muay_Thai )


I can understand some rivalry and banter between each style's followers but that's all it should be; banter. All the stupid comments slagging each other off is ridiculous and not shows how easy it is for certain martial artists to put the whole respect thing to one side and slag each other off.

Each sport is slightly unique and has its own loyal followers and practitioners, and really doesn't need fellow martial artists putting each other down.


At the end of the day the general opinion when asked to joe bloggs would probably be as i've said above - all the sports fall under the Kickboxing classification. I also think that Neil does have a point - if K-1 brands itself as Kickboxing then who are we to say they can't call it kickboxing?
