Most common reason why the creators of punching style arts created martial art like this was because natural condition and the environment of their countries which prevents them from using long range high kicks. For examples: Slippery desert with soft sand, village in the dense jungle or densely built-up port city.

This fighting style is powerful for close range combat but weak for long range combat (Of course!! Punch is shorter than kick!!).

2. Kicking Style

This fighting sport type focus on long range high kicks.

Most common reason why the creators of kicking style arts created martial art like this was because natural condition and the environment of their countries which allows them to using long range high kicks. For examples: Vast agricultural area with flat ground, stable desert with solid sand or sparse development city which have lot of vacant lands.

This fighting style is powerful for long range combat but weak for close range combat (You can’t do your Taekwondo or Kungfu high kicks well in narrow alley right? Of course!!).
