                              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.

                                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.

                                  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!

                                    Seriously, how do you screw up a baton change at this level?

                                    The higher the level, the faster you're going, so the less room for error.

                                    You see far fewer baton change fuck ups at club/amateur level, simply because they're moving much slower.
