The training is divided into different groups, and each group is on a special level. Wich group you are in depends on how many degrees you have. In the bassic group, the practisers learn basic techniques, blocks and to practise techniques against hitting/kicking pillows. Most of the time you practise two and two. After a while you are moved up in a higher group, you may start with sparring training.

The clubs in the FOX concept meet regulary on trainingcamps and instructor-seminars. The clubs also have acces to seminars in for example Krav Maga and Qi Gong.

In the practise there is also a effective selfdefence integrated (krav maga). So even if there are great possibilities to compete, the basicpractise contains more techniques, among them selfdefence.

Fox Kickboxing Concept is Sweden´s biggest association of kickboxing clubs and it´s formed by Benny Hedlund.

COMPETITIONS

In Sweden there are competitions in light- and full contact. Lightcontact is like sparring; no hard hits or kicks are permitted. The rules of fullcontact is almost the same as in boxing. Before a practiser enters a contest, he/she must have at least the 2:nd degree. FOX has had people in the international team since the 80´s, and has entered several international tournaments since that time.

KRAV MAGA

The Israelian selfdefence system Krav Maga is also in the FOX-concept. This means that those who practice kickboxing also have a possibility to learn Krav Maga on seminars. The seminars are on two levels - one with defence without weapons, and one with defence against weapons.

All the FOX-clubs can book theese one-day seminars with the Finnish instructor Jyrki Saario.
