A young Japanese woman new to kickboxing is making a splash for her kicking technique and ability to balance on one leg. Supposedly her parents made her spend time on one leg while growing up, so her balance is exceptional, and she can stay on one leg and throw multiple kicks. However, she’s also been boxing since she was four years old, so she’s not just a kicking phenom. The one thing I’ve noticed which works while she’s coming up, is she doesn’t throw too many kicks with the shin and top of her foot where even the kicker can take damage. And I like how when she kicks and boxes, she’s hitting that body. It will be curious to see where she ends up, and if she decides to go into MMA or sticks with kickboxing, maybe going to One Championship where she could kickbox and work on MMA and even get some MMA fights.
