Dragonshadow, you get your knee to the doctor, ASAP! Talk to anyone with knee problems, and they'll tell you that can't take any chances with them.
One of my buddies just had a ligament replacement surgery, for the knee that's been bothering him for four years. He's 23, so it can happen at any age.
In the meantime, there's a few things you should do.
1) Cut down on your exercise; rest is essential. If it hurts when you put weight on it, there's no way you should be kickboxing.
2) Ice it after activity; also use heat before activity, to warm up the muscles/ligaments and reduce the chances of further damage.
3) Take anti-inflammatory medication like Ibuprofen, Motrin, etc.
I'm having some minor knee pain right now, and if it isn't considerably better within two weeks of the first time I noticed it, the doctor will be getting a visit.
