Yup exactly right, if youve did boxing the transition to kickboxing will be a bitch just due to the fact its a totally different stance, imagine the points of and "L" left foot forward and the back foot out to the right at the back, with your body side on from your opponent, not facing him.
Also moving away from attacks instead of blocking them directly comes into play more. Depending how happy you are at your club, if your going to stick it at kickboxing you should move onto Muay Thai, as Kickboxing per say is just sport full contact karate....which in my personally opinion isnt as good as either MT or a particular karate style full on.
If you want to finally progress to easily defeat, say everybody in the UFC at the same time, you would do the god style of Wado Ryu Karate, but that is not a bias on my part or anything. ^^
Nonsense aside blocking a kick to the stomach is done with just one hand, a sweep movement from the outside, or inside guard leaving your other hand to defend your face/other body part. If your flexible and can take damage, you can also lift your knee around head height, and take the attack on your leg, which is good for a swift front kick counter.
