Some footage of a cooldown round i had.

I strained my right shoulder which is why I am immobilizing it in the video for anyone wondering.

I did a poll a while back about the preferred kickboxing rules and I was surprised by the amount of people who preferred the above-mentioned style, where knees, clinch, kicks below the waist, and catching kicks are typically not allowed.

As someone with genuine interest in the style I wanted to know which organizations still host Full Contact competitions and where I could see fights in this style of kickboxing.

I did hear that the PKA was coming back, but no new news has seemed to come out in the past few years regarding it and I'm not sure if it was still coming back.

Combat culture with another great piece on how and why the golden era of Muay Thai came and went.

I'll admit I'm not a karateka, but as someone with an interest in martial arts I always found watching how other martial arts worked interesting. Obviously watching kumite competitions for karate would be the best way to view it being put into practice, but I just wanted to know how other people feel about such kyokushin matches being hosted on a stage like K1.

Do you like these matches and think they are good for karate as a whole?

Also, if you do like them, is there another ruleset that you would prefer (no knees or leg kicks for example)?

I just wanted to make a post about how good Jon's performance was this fight, since unfortunately a lot of the discussion around One Samurai has revolved around conspiracy theories regarding the main event.

I also know that this was a kickboxing match, but I thought that I would post this here since it's regarding Haggerty's performance and he is a muay thai fighter fighting under a different ruleset.

I was pretty amazed (and happy) that he was able to win and by a good margin too. His footwork was on point as usual, but I also thought he did great work with his knees which was surprising after seeing how well Yoza handled other muay thai specialists in this regard.

He also held his own while in close punching or "kyokushin" range too, and was consistently landing his kicks.

All around an awesome showing from Haggerty and I cant wait to see him under muay thai rules again, be it against Rambolek, Nabil, or whoever else at that weight.

Who do you guys want him to fight next?

Just out of curiosity, which of the 3 major kickboxing rulesets do you prefer?

  1. Glory style rules, where you can land one knee in the clinch and then break.
  2. One/K1 style rules, where any clinch is prohibited and fighters go forehead to forehead or push off
  3. Full-Contact/American KB rules, no knees, clinch, or kicks below the waist

I personally prefer the Glory rules as I feel like it allows for more flow in the fight and less referee intervention is needed to break up the fighters, especially with the clinch and limited catching.

IMO this also allows for greater striking diversity as a knee specialist can land a knee while adequately defending themselves and then break to continue the action.

I do come from a collegiate wrestling and Muay Thai background though, so I do like the clinch a lot.

Which rule-set do you guys prefer and why?
