Usually, the wrestler who is lower in height will win the battle, which is the same with many other contact sports. The attacking wrestler will lower his level to become more powerful and also to avoid the opponent's upper body defense. The attacking wrestler will then drive off of their back leg and penetrate into their opponent. This particular shot is called a sweeping single for two reasons. The sweeping part comes in because as the attacking wrestler is penetrating in, the will windshield wipe their feet around their opponent in order to get behind them. The second reason is the single part, which means the attacking wrestler will grab one leg instead of two. After the wrestler is in deep on their sweeping single shot, they can begin to finish the
In 1914, a Kodokan Judo master by the name of Mitsuyo Maeda taught Brazil's Carlos Gracie the art of judo in appreciation of his father's help with business in the country. This was an amazing turn of events as the Japanese tended to hide jujutsu and judo from the Western world. From there, Carlos' youngest and smallest brother, Helio, made better/made purer the art that had been taught to Carlos into one that used less strength and more power/advantage in order to suit his more small frame. What came of this was Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, a wrestling art that taught (professionals or skilled people) how to use combined locks and choke holds to their advantage on the ground.

Another type of kickboxing with an opulent history is Taekwondo; this form is a fighting style almost strictly dependent on using the legs to strike your opponent in spinning and jumping motions. This style evolved from other martial arts styles that dated back to 50 B.C; evidence of this was found on cave walls in the form of paintings ("General Taekwondo Information - History’’). Taekwondo basically evolved from a military fighting method and popular sport called Soo Bakh Do. Soo Bakh Do was used by athletes and militants in combat and training during the Koryo Dynasty. Back then, the sport of kick boxing was for the lower class or poor men ("General Taekwondo Information - History.”). Taekwondo practiced today is an evolution of many oriental martial arts, and fighting styles that were used long ago, but with a more modern “spin” to it. Most taekwondo instructors incorporate their own techniques in their teachings, which is not uncommon in fight training. Coaches have been revolutionizing martial arts fighting styles ever since the world’s first intelligent skirmish. Taekwondo got its name from the old Korean martial arts style, Tae Kyon because its focus was on using the legs as a weapon to pummel the enemies into
