The Kickboxing Nerd
YES, I am a nerd who watches and talks WAY TOO MUCH about kickboxing!
👨💻 My name is Kimball and I am THE KICKBOXING NERD (formerly known as De Kickboks Podcast)! I've been watching kickboxing for a long long time. So I decided; let's make a Youtube channel and talk about kickboxing while having fun! I'm here to spread the beauty of kickboxing. Since I'm from The Netherlands, there's some Dutch content on this channel as well. Anyways, I hope you enjoy my content!

If you watch kickboxing than you might've noticed that more and more kickboxers engage in trash talk. Sometimes more successful than others. Promotions like GLORY and ONE Championship seem to be encouraging fighters to hype through verbal battles. Some fans love it, while others view it as fake commercialism.
I take a closer look at the rise of trash talk in kickboxing, explore why it's becoming such a big part of the sport, and ask an important question: Does trash talk have a place in kickboxing?
