Hi!
Since a few weeks, we have more and more kickboxing on the french TV sport channel!
So I'm still trying to figure out how everything works, which seems not all easy.
So abbout the rules, I'm discovering that they are different types of rules:
- Muay Thai: pretty much everything, elbows, knees, clinch, allowed to throw your opponent, to catch the kicks, high/middle/low kicks,...
- K1: no elbows, only 1 knee, short clinch, no throw, can't catch the leg
- Full-contact: like K1, but nothing below the belt (except a small destabilization on the ankle)
Or there any other specific rules in MT/K1/FC types?
Or there any other type of rules?
On an other type of topic, for example in the last event I saw, the French ruce Codron won the european belt to a Danish in 64.9kgs (not sure) in K1 rules.
So does that means he is the "European K1 champion in his division" or is it more complicated than that (different organizations, rules,...)?
Last question (for now ); at the beginning 'when I started whatching UFC), I thought K1 was just an organization which was doing a tournament, "the K1".
And it seems like it is a japanese organization.
So now we're talking about K1 rules, is that just because these rules were specific to this organization, and nowsome other organization uses this rules?
Thank you!
