Are there any martial arts that traditionally do full contact sparring with no pads? A friend of mine is always going on about some Indian martial art or another and says they did full contact without pads. I think he's lying, but I could be wrong.

I don't think Kalaripayattu uses pads, and it is an Indian MA.

The best victory is when the opponent surrenders

of its own accord before there are any actual

hostilities...It is best to win without fighting.

When you get to the world championship level in kyokushin karate it is full contact and you don't wear pads.

It's not indian though.

but in the mastery of his passions.

Go out to a bar and yell profanities about people's mothers. You'll get full contact no pad sparring :D.

(for anyone out there who doesn't understand a joke, please, please don't do this. Or at least record it and put it up on the forum if you do ;))
