FAQ:
Q: Do you have to wear socks in kickboxing?
A: So generally authentic kickboxing is practiced barefoot, like most martial arts, but some gyms allow you to wear just socks. The problem is that socks don’t provide traction and it’s easy to slip and fall.
Q: Can you wear kickboxing shoes for sparring?
A: For the latter, the International Kickboxing Federation only allows Ringstar Maxx sparring shoes, and these are worn without socks. For kickboxing training, however, many gyms and classes will let you wear wrestling shoes, which are usually worn with lightweight wrestling socks; sometimes cross trainers and sports socks are even allowed.
Q: Are kick footpads allowed in kickboxing?
A: Sometimes kick footpads are allowed, but in the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s mixed martial arts style of fighting, which includes kickboxing as well as grappling, any padding or shoes of any type are against the rules. So generally authentic kickboxing is practiced barefoot, like most martial arts, but some gyms allow you to wear just socks.
Q: What is the difference between cardio kickboxing and true kickboxing?
A: In true kickboxing, you punch and kick mats, pads and heavy bags or spar with contact. In cardio kickboxing, you do kickboxing moves in the air without any type of contact. Each of these fitness pursuits has different requirements and that affects what you can safely wear on your feet.
