Kickboxing

Stand-up striking sport combining punches and kicks. Demands hip ER for roundhouse kicks, thoracic rotation for hooks, ankle stability for pivoting, and shoulder endurance for guard maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Kickboxing biomechanical assessment include?
The Kickboxing protocol assesses Hip External Rotation, Hip Internal Rotation, Lower Trunk Rotation and 3 additional ROM tests specific to kickboxing demands. Each test measures against sport-specific benchmarks by competitive level.
Who needs a Kickboxing assessment?
Any kickboxing athlete or practitioner, from recreational to professional level. The assessment identifies mobility limitations that increase injury risk and restrict performance in kickboxing-specific movement patterns.
How long does the Kickboxing protocol take?
The assessment takes 30-45 minutes. It covers 6 key ROM tests, identifies risk factors, and generates a prioritized corrective plan with 3 intervention targets.
How do I get started with the Kickboxing protocol?
Apply for an assessment through AKMI. Your coach will run the Kickboxing protocol as part of your initial structural evaluation, then build a personalized corrective plan based on the findings.

Related Sport Protocols

Running

Sagittal-dominant cyclical sport where injury risk correlates with hip drop (Trendelenburg), reduced hip extension, ankle dorsiflexion deficit, and thoracic rotation restriction. Assessment focuses on gait-cycle prerequisites rather than maximum ROM.

 Baseball / Softball

Asymmetric overhead throwing with GIRD monitoring, thoracic rotation for batting/throwing, hip rotation for swing, and lead leg stability for pitching.

 Rowing / Crew

Cyclical pulling sport demanding hip hinge endurance, thoracic mobility for the catch position, shoulder overhead capacity for the finish, and hamstring flexibility for the drive phase.

 Fencing

Linear combat sport demanding hip flexibility for the en garde stance, ankle dorsiflexion for deep lunges, thoracic rotation for parry-riposte, and asymmetric loading management from dominant-side overuse.

 Mountain Biking

Off-road cycling requiring shock absorption through the arms and legs, thoracic extension for descending posture, hip mobility for technical sections, and cervical endurance for trail scanning.

 Wrestling

Grappling sport demanding explosive hip power for takedowns, cervical strength for bridging, shoulder stability for underhooks, and ankle DF for penetration step depth.
