One of the issues I have with Letwei is its rule set.
Why would you allow a time out? It 1. reduces the knockout ratio 2. causes unnecessary brain damage.
That....is a silly logic lol
You can get a fluke KO and your opponent will be out for 5 minutes.
But sure, there are arbitrary rule every where.
Nothing more idiotic than getting knocked out and resume in a fight with headbutts immediately after. These guys have to be experiencing the worst head trauma out of any sport out there.
The only way to win a fight in Lethei is KO´ing someone, every fight that didnt end as a KO(by their insane standards of course) is declared a draw if im not mistaken
The sport is really hard to follow now that Lekkha Moun died down. I still have great memories from that channel.
That's a giant leap not a step...For a lot of people there's nothing more idiotic than participating in full contact fights where the objective is to finish your opponent full stop, be it Muay Thai, MMA, or whatever else. Lethwei just takes it a step further that's all.
That's a giant leap not a step...
Nice manCome on that's just not true. I've always been just bleed.
On a serious note I'm just a fan of skilled combat sports no matter how violent or unviolent they are. I tend to watch the highest tier and skill level of each sport be it knockdown karate, judo, muay thai, boxing, kickboxing, lethwei, mma, etc.
And I don't deny that lethwei is brutal and really not good for brain damage, especially getting concussed several times in the same fight. That being said I don't think western boxing with 10 or 12 rounds is any safer than lethwei for the brain.
Nice man
Any recommendation for me on how and where to watch highest tier judo / knockdown karate? Too much stadiums fight for me for the last year.
Well once people start posting fights others may catch interest. I would probably not follow the japanese scene if there was no stickied threadDo we even have enough people interested in the Lethwei's scene?
Without a dedicated poster, that thread is going to be quieter than news from Japan's thread.
