history

Shootboxing was developed in August 1985 by the former kickboxer Caesar Takeshi. As a role model, he used styles like kickboxing and shooto . The first shootbox event took place on September 1st, 1985.

Struggles

Shootbox fights are divided into two classes: the Expert Class and the Freshman Class . The Expert Class fights last three rounds of five minutes each; in the freshman class fights three rounds of three minutes each. In the event of a tie, further rounds of three minutes each follow. The break between the rounds is always one minute.

Regulations

One way to win a shootbox match is through knockout . This can be done in three ways:

  1. A fighter is knocked down and unable to get up until the referee counts to ten.
  2. A fighter stands up again but is unable to maintain a fighting stance until the referee has counted to eight.
  3. A fighter falls out of the ring and is unable to get back into the ring until the referee counts to 20.

The referee can also stop a fight if he notices that one of the two fighters is no longer fit to fight or is unconscious. There are also technical knockouts. These occur when a fighter is injured, knocked down twice in a round, or the supervisor in the fighter's corner throws in the towel. In addition, a fight is broken off if the ring doctor considers the health of a fighter to be endangered by continuing the fight. If the fight is not decided by a knockout or technical knockout, the winner will be determined. The determination is made by the effectiveness of the attack and defense techniques, the success in setting up and defending against submissive attacks and the proximity to the end of the fight. This determination can also end in a tie.

Fouls

Some combat operations are considered fouls. After three warnings for fouls, the fighter will be disqualified and the opponent declared the winner. There are different types of fouls:

  1. Headbutt
  2. Blow or kick in the abdomen
  3. Bite
  4. Attack the opponent while he is falling or standing up
  5. Attack the opponent after the referee stops the fight
  6. Using the ring ropes for attack or defense
  7. Acoustic provoking of the opponent or the referee
  8. Hit or kick in the back of the head
  9. Kneel down or support yourself with your hands to ward off an attack
  10. Purposely kick the opponent out of the ring
  11. Intentionally leaving the ring

A disqualification is pronounced if

  1. a fighter has been cautioned for three deliberate fouls,
  2. a fighter does not follow the referee's instructions,
  3. a fighter cannot / cannot compete at the beginning of a new round,
  4. a fighter shows brutal, non-athletic behavior,
  5. a fighter is declared unfit to fight by the ring doctor.
