In Odisha, there has been very precious try to improve kickboxing game, and the process still continues, plenty of work to be done with this sport. Kickboxing first started in Italy in the year 1985, but still to date, it is not very popular in India.
In 1993, due to the great effort from Sudhanshu Shekhar Harichandran, kickboxing came to India and it was known as Wako Kick Boxing. In the meantime, 19 years have passed and inside India, there are many kickboxing associations all around it.
Still to date this game is not popular with the likes of cricket, tennis or badminton in India.
It seems that there are plenty of works to be done in this regard, It is also true that the game does not become popular in one day, when we think of cricket, we recall international players like Gavaskar, Tendulkar, Kapil, Shewag and so on and with these names we tend to identify ourselves so much and then the game become popular.
Then, the audience came to the stadium to watch their heroes succeed in matches, these are some of the awesome feelings.
When these heroes perform, the audience came to watch in their eyes, as they do not believe to see it on television as they watch the innings so that their heroes should perform and also in this manner their performances should emulate and they think that by following their career they did immense work of knowing a player.
All these are part of celebrations when a player function and it is being watched by millions of fans among chanting and shouting of names and this always makes the most fashionable journey of sort of the player. All these should have some of the most promising and wonderful aspects of the gameplay and captaincy.
Like we said Dhoni’s ultra-powered helicopter shot just makes the playing games a wonderful playing field and fans just poured in to watch that excellent match. Similar, currently there is no game idols for kickboxing and that is why audience could not recognize this sport within themselves.
If one of their players is playing at international circuit then for sure audiences should see that and witness excellent work of their favorite countrymen and that is why this game is not been so popular but with times it could be more and more popular, as it has all forms of entertainment and other factors that could raise the game above wonderful level.
