WHAT IS JAPANESE SHOOTBOXING?
Sometimes referred to in Japan as standing MMA, Shootboxing is a mixture of its parent combat styles of Kickboxing, Muay Thai and Japanese Shoot/Catch Wrestling developed in the 1980’s. Shootboxing allows kicks, punches, knees, elbows, throws, and standing submissions as long as they are applied from a standing position. Shoot is a pro wrestling term for a ‘real’ fight.

HOW SHOOTBOXING STARTED?
The name Shootboxing has two meanings. First, it stands for a combat sports promotion founded by Ceasar Takeshi in 1985 in Tokyo, Japan. Takeshi was a former top kickboxer and a former “Asia Pacific Kickboxing Federation” champion. At one point in his career, Takeshi started to train in wrestling with Satoru Sayama. At the time, Sayama was a famous name in the wrestling world and the two used to train together in the Super Tiger Gym.
After spending enough time on the mats, Takeshi decided to create his own style of wrestling. Yet, his initial project was a failure, but soon after, he would get another unique idea. He created a new combat sport that is a mix of techniques from shoot wrestling and kickboxing. The final result of his work was Shoot Boxing, and he held the first event on September 1, 1985.
