                                Ludicrous.

                                apparently it's meant to be touch, and KO is automatic DQ. So ... soudns technically correct according to the experts on Reddit

                                Pretty hard in a fast full contact sport

                                Lucky it wasn’t like that in prize fighting back in the day or else Rocky Marcianos record would have read 6-43 instead of 49-0.

                                it's not a full contact sport in this form, though. It's a skill competition/demonstration as far as I know.

                                  But at that speed it must be difficult to keep control of your force.

                                        Lucky it wasn’t like that in prize fighting back in the day or else Rocky Marcianos record would have read 6-43 instead of 49-0.

                                        it's not a full contact sport in this form, though. It's a skill competition/demonstration as far as I know.

                                        But at that speed it must be difficult to keep control of your force.

                                        I'm not defending them here, just sharing what I understand. It seems to be in the rules - if you're not pulling your punches/kicks, you're not in control, and you get pinged for it.

                                        Very practical too. Nothing will show a bunch of muggers who’s boss like a pulled punch or chop. They’ll admire the discipline and self control and run for miles.

                                          Ludicrous.

                                          apparently it's meant to be touch, and KO is automatic DQ. So ... soudns technically correct according to the experts on Reddit

                                          Pretty hard in a fast full contact sport

                                          Me neither. Just saying. I saw a bout in the lighter class where a guy executed the same kick and got the opponent in the mid section. No problem there. This guy ducks into a good kick and wins a medal for his trouble. Sounds like tackle rules in rugby!
