Hey - I am very fond of fighting and enjoy it very much, but I have ran into a problem. I am 13 and have had a long history with fighting. I am an expert in boxing, having 5 years of training, but I have sustained a permanent injury in my hands and lets just say whenever I punch, it hurts me more than my opponent. I'm looking for a Martial Art that is ALL kicking and using your legs. Can anyone help me find an Art of Fighting using the legs? Cheers.

Believe it or not, but Kick Boxing is only 40% Kicking.

I did like 2 years of Brazillion Jiu Jitsiu, but it's not my thing. I'm looking for 100% Leg work.

Muay Thai would be your best bet man. Maybe even Kung Fu.
I dont know. Im in Tang Soo Do, but that is a balance of punching and kicking...lol

if you've done that many years of martial art work, you should know leagues beyond whatever knowledge someone on this forum could give to you.

I've been doing taekwondo for six years now. The kicking aspect is around 80%, while the punching is only about 20%. I'd give that a shot, if I were you.

Just do Muay-Thai I do, but make sure before any fights or sparring tape YOUR hands like  . You don't have to punch all of the time though an elbow strike can be more effective if you catch your opppnent in the right place. |
