Ive no issue with that lol, but why the costumes? If you people on here want to compare it to street fighting or other combat sports like muay thai, no gi jiu jitsu, boxing etc then ditch the costumes for competitions.
So... In your world, fighting without shirt, shoes and in speedos/trunks with pillows on your hands is streetfight or selfdefense? You fight a lot of surfers on the beaches do you?
Karate guys wear karate outfits when fighting with rules originally and specifically designed to be as close to the karate sparring that was done in kyokushin before the knockdown rules was created -which was done because the attrition on students due to injuries was unacceptable, and noone was interested in bareknuckle elimination tournaments with headpunches in the 60ies (or now).
