Although not actually considered one of the kickboxing, many of the participants who enter the game have skills in kickboxing and were often among the best participants in their chosen activity. Many expert boxers also enter the sport of kickboxing, after a trainer has taken the time to teach them how to kick.

The object of a kickboxing meet is to out punch and out kick an opponent to the point where they cannot continue the fight or until the end of the game when the judges will pick the winning player of the match. Unlike a kickboxing tournament, the athletess in a kickboxing match will generally wear some protective gear, such as mouth guards, boxing gloves, and a groin shield. This is to make sure that the athletes in the match do not have lasting damage from their bout in the ring.

A number of countries, including France, India, and Cambodia, have developed their own techniques of kickboxing London which can be distinguished by many, such as if the participants are allowed to wear shoes or shin gear. In some matches, the rules of the meet will reflect the common type of kickboxing London performed in that country.

In the American style of martial arts, athletes in the game are permitted to strike their opponent with their hands or their feet in the region above the belt. The use of elbows and knees to hit the other participant is not allowed and in most cases, athletes are not permitted to use their shins to hit their opponent either. Each round in the meet will usually last for a few minutes and each match consists of between 3 and 12 rounds.
