What is the national sport governing body for kickboxing?
There is no single international governing body. International governing bodies include World Association of Kickboxing Organizations, World Kickboxing Association, International Sport Karate Association, International Kickboxing Federation, World Sport Kickboxing Federation, among others. Consequently, there is no single kickboxing world championship, and champion titles are issued by individual promotions, such as K-1, It's Showtime, Lumpinee Boxing Stadium, among others.however; The International Sport Karate Association(ISKA) is one of the major international bodies regulating karate and kickboxing matches, and is based in the United States. It was established in 1985 as a response to legal and revenue issues that sent the Professional Karate Association (PKA) into decline.[Source; Wikipedia

Is it good to train in two different martial arts like Tae Kwon Do and kickboxing?
yes it will be good as it help each other as one can benefit the other. like if its two different martial arts but the same e.g striking like tae kwon do and kickboxing. for example tae kwon do will help in kickboxing, in tae kwon do it will help in kickboxing by giving the legs some flexibility and do some real damage with the legs, while kickboxing will help tae kwon do by giving you more endurance training and foot work. if you mean something like kickboxing and judo they will help each other in that kickboxing is good when you want to strike, move away from your opponent and keep your distance, and if that cant work atleast you got something like judo that will help you in close range when you feel that you cant strike, and will help you to get out of a situation when someone grabs you or want to take you down to the ground
