Advanced Kickboxing Drills - How to Fight at Elite Level with Mick Crossland

Kickboxing is not just made up of one defining set of rules.  Full contact typically only allows kicks above the waist, whilst K-1 style disciplines include the addition of low kicks and knees.  

Sport mat based tournaments utilise semi or light continuous forms of Kickboxing, where knock outs and 100% power shots are not allowed.  

Therefore, how to fight at elite level across each particular rule set and style is not straight forward.  Internationally renowned coach and Kickboxing World Champion Mick Crossland though knows only too well how to adapt his advanced kickboxing drills to ensure his fighters have continued success in any of these various disciplines.
