Japanese Shootboxing is a fusion martial art developed in Japan in the 1980’s by Japanese Kickboxer Takeshi Caesar. Shootboxing combines Kickboxing, Muay Thai, Boxing & Wrestling, emphasising striking, clinch, standing submissions and throwing techniques.

1. Ti (Kicking)
2. Da (Striking)
3. Shuai Jiao (Wrestling)
4. Na (Joint locking/Submissions)
Allowing Sanshou to be adaptive in multiple combat sports like Sanda Kickboxing, Shootboxing, Sambo, Wrestling & Knockdown Karate.

SELF DEFENCE?
Sanda was developed by the Chinese military for the purpose of unarmed combat training. As well as the competitive aspect of Sanda, Sanda also teaches escapes from common attacks, grab releases & pressure testing peoples skills for both competition (optional) and self defence situations.
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 pro 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.
