The kickboxing competition at the 2022 World Games took place in July 2022,[1] in Birmingham in United States, at the Boutwell Auditorium. Originally scheduled to take place in July 2021, the Games were rescheduled for July 2022 as a result of the 2020 Summer Olympics postponement due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [2] This was the first time, when kickboxing was an official discipline in The World Games programme (in 2017 was an invitational event). The competition was held on K1 rules.
