Many sports reserachers describe the ways to develop the punching force in various martial arts, and almost every reference author presents evidence and indicators showing that the muscles of the legs and torso play a significant role in improving the punching force. Therefore, by using the elastic deformation of torso and shoulder muscles in punching movement correctly, one may significantly enhance the efficiency of the punch. Thus, the effectiveness of a kickboxer’s punch is largely determined by the optimal contribution of the rotational-translational movement of his or her torso and legs. This study is devoted to training in kickboxing, namely, to the methods of developing the punching force in kickboxing. The study is aimed at identifying and justifying the effectiveness of training methods used to develop the punching force of kickboxers. This study is based on the following research methods: 1. analysis of scientific reference sources; 2. pedagogical testing; 3. teaching experiment; 4. mathematical statistic evaluation. During the training sessions sportsmen work on the individual body movements through systematic repetition. However, this kind of training is sometimes not enough, as many experts in kickboxing name the punching force as one of the major factors determining victory in a kickboxing competition.kickboxingdeveloping punching forcemajor and additional exercisesкикбоксингразвитие силы удара рукамиосновные и вспомогательные упражнения[Валеев Т.
