rules and gloves aren't good for anyone.

 

y'know, i caught some of the previous fights here (including the gary turner win).

 

there was a boxer who got demolished because he was unable to deal with low kicks....

 

just cos i'm too lazy to look them up, what are k1 rules?

post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are.

K-1 rules allow

 

-punches

 

-kicks to the body, head and legs

 

-No elbows

 

-Knees are allowed but you are not allowed to clinch for an extended period like in MT.

how about gloves?

 

hmm, this beginning to sound more interesting.

 

i mean, the other guy is a karate chappie, right?

 

y'know, what's always bothered me is that i never unsderstood why a wing chun guy is going to be hindered by gloves.

 

sure, what's normally available to him by ways of trapping (in the small circle at least) and gripping/pulling is reduced but then the other guy can't do this either.

 

to be honest, this only really works against wing chun anyway...

 

(besides, if you're complaining about not being to trap then i say that you are seeking the arms, not trying to hit)

 

BUT

 

he can still do big circle traps and grip/drag on the outside+turn stance.

 

the biggest and most common target we train is the head.

 

we train to strike head/face.

 

blocks and guards are possible with gloves and this is where wing chun is supposed to be strong.

 

i ignore things such as the favourite eye gouge+throat strikes because that is a dumb argument (this isn't a life threatening fight so why use life threatening moves?).

 

what i like i too see, is how he'll deal with incoming kicks.

The rules are extensive here is what isn't allowed.

 

(a) The following are defined as fouls:

 

Using the head to deliver a blow.

 

Using the elbow.

 

Attacking the opponent in the groin (attacks to the groin with knee kicks or hand techniques shall be considered as low-blows and will be ruled as fouls).

 

Using techniques from wrestling or judo such as throwing or submission techniques.

 

Thumbing, choking or biting on the opponent.

 

Attacking the opponent while he is down or in the process of getting up.

 

Attacking the opponent while the referee is intervening to separate the fighters.

 

Holding the ropes to attack the opponent, or to avoid the attack from the opponent. However, this is not applicable in the situation in case the referee determines that it is inevitable to hold the ropes.

 

Using offensive or insulting language.

 

Attacking the back of the head with a punch (the side of the head and the area around the ears are not considered as the back of the head and are valid target areas).

 

Attempting to cause the opponent to fall out of the ring.

 

Voluntarily exiting the ring during the course of a match.
