                Still ludicrous. No wonder people consider it a joke.

                    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.

                            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.

                            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.

                                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.
