kickboxer

Does anyone know the steps that have to be taken to become a amateur or professional kickboxer?

[Saz]

Bit of a vague question, but a good start would be to sign up for a good Kickboxing class, such as a decent Muay Thai school, train your butt off and see what comes you way in the form of tournaments etc... after you've put in a good deal of time training of course.

Too right, get in the gym - train & train ..........& train again, enter the tournaments, you'll find your way.

What if there are no gyms in the area

[johndoch]

If there are no gyms in your area you will obviously need to travel to get to one. You cannot become an amateur kickboxer on your own. I am pretty sure there will be a club near you.

Yup train hard is the best way, but dont rush it. give it time, you might feel like you can hold your own after a few months but thats far from the case

[Bulldog]

DO NOT, I repeat...DO NOT try to self train yourself in kickboxing.

If you are serious, try some of the kickboxing organization websites and do a search for regional/state or country reps.
Or, if you email them, they would probably be able to point you in the right direction...

Best wishes...
