Whether you are running or kickboxing you need to fuel for the event. You need to get sufficient Carbs for fuel. I normally eat 2 cups of oats 3 hours before I run. here is a great website about "fueling". It pertains to running but can be translated to kickboxing. Both require a lot of energy. Remember "Carbohydrates will trigger the body to make insulin, which will decrease the amount of cortisol produced. This will decrease muscle breakdown. Protein will help sustain your workout, provide lasting energy, and allow for faster recovery".
