The vocabulary, and where it came from

Kickboxing borrowed its language from every tradition that fed into it, and a term’s origin usually tells you which ruleset it belongs to. Chassé exists because savate fights in shoes. Ippon exists because knockdown karate scores that way. Checking exists because some codes allow leg kicks and others do not. Grouped by origin rather than alphabet for exactly that reason.
