Kickbox – Staněk Oldřich (2016)

This is the very first book of its kind that was published on our market at the beginning of the 1990s. It is a book by an experienced Czech author who contributed to the establishment, development, teaching, and promotion of Kickboxing in our country. In the 1990s and at the turn of the millennium, the Kickbox Staněk sports club, founded by the author of this publication, was one of the largest, not only in terms of its membership of around 1500 at the time but also in terms of the successes its members achieved, both in competitions and in ongoing coaching and promotional activities, some of which continue to this day. This publication, which you now hold in your hands, is the third revised edition. Its purpose is to introduce as many readers as possible to kickboxing, not only in practice but primarily as a competitive activity and also as a form of self-defense. This publication is mainly dedicated to leg techniques and is intended not only for beginners as an illustrative and descriptive textbook but also for those more experienced as a demonstration of precise mastery of technique and its combination with descriptions of practical experiences directly from the ring.
