Boundwrestling is simply wrestling with your legs bound
together.
Not of the two opponents but of each fighter individually.
Its origine comes from ancient Greece. Pankratia (fight by all means) was a
martial art with few rules. They needed a way to confine their skills during
training. To work on the upper body they bound the legs of one fighter together
so he could only make use of his arms and upper body.
BOUNDKICKBOXING
Boundkickboxing is done with
the arms of a kickboxer bound to his back. This was first introduced in Japan.
To train the techniques of the legs in Kyokushinkai Karate the arms of a
karateka were bound to his back. Although this seems brutal it's a fact that in
combat the fight is less harmful to the bodies. Most damage is done by punches
repeatedly on the head. The boundkickboxer will less often be able to kick as
high as the head of his opponent and probably not with the same speed and power
than he was able to when he could have used his arms. (Click on icon for
