Kyouk To Ki is a Korean martial art that combines elements of boxing, Muay Thai, and Taekwondo. It is a full-contact sport that includes punches, kicks, elbow strikes, knee strikes, and more. The ultimate goal of martial arts is not to use them.

Kickboxing is a combat sport that was founded in Japan in 1958 by combining several martial arts disciplines. Generally, the purpose of kickboxing training is self-defense, physical fitness, and its use as a combat sport.

The term “kickboxing” was coined by the Japanese Osamu Noguchi to name a martial art inspired by karate and Thai boxing. He introduced this discipline in 1958.

Kickboxing consists of two parts: “kick,” meaning striking with the foot, and “boxing,” meaning punching. Its primary techniques are based on punches and kicks.

This martial art encompasses all forms of ring combat at every level and covers them comprehensively.

The International Kyouk To Ki Union, abbreviated as IKU, aims to promote and expand Korean culture and martial arts. It also seeks to develop ring sports and professional fighting. To achieve this, it invites collaboration and accepts active representatives and members from around the world to join its ranks.
