Sometimes referred to in Japan as ‘standing MMA’, Shootboxing is a mixture of its parent combat styles of Kyokushin Karate, K1 Kickboxing and Shoot-Wrestling (Catch Wrestling), developed in the 1980’s in Japan. Shootboxing allows kicks, punches, knees, elbows, Wrestling & Judo style throws and grappling & submissions from a standing position as long as they are applied from a standing position. Shoot is a pro wrestling term for a ‘real’ fight.
In the world of combat sports, where strategies and styles collide, shootboxing emerges as a unique and dynamic discipline that combines the intricacies of both striking and grappling techniques. Shootboxing takes a holistic approach to combat, allowing fighters to seamlessly blend Kickboxing & shoot grappling.
Our Shootboxing focus on the fundamentals of the discipline. All start with an intense conditioning workout and then move on to technique drills, partner work, pad work, sparring, and further conditioning exercises.
Shootboxing was created in the 80’s by Japanese pro kickboxer Takeshi Caesar. In 1984, he became interested in wrestling and was introduced to Satoru Sayama, who trained him in shoot-style grappling at his Super Tiger Gym.
