Rules & Information

 

 

This is a unique event for the hardcore martial artist and fan.

All matches will take place on mats and will have an exciting pace and set of rules.

 

Fighters will be matched by the promoter and the match-up must be agreed to by both competitors. Competitors can request a specific opponent, which is subject to the opponent's willingness to the challenge.

A standard fight will consist of one round lasting four minutes and the winner will be determined by ringside judges.  Fighters are able to punch on the feet and on the ground.  However, no head contact will be permitted.

 

 

A quick breakdown of the legal techniques

* Any closed fist and elbow techniques to middle and upper torso and side of torso including ribs.

* Any kicking and kneeing techniques to legs, thighs, middle and upper torso, and side of the body.

* All grappling techniques set forth by the no-gi grappling rules (except no points are given for position or takedowns)

* Striking to the body while on the ground

Illegal targets

* Back of torso & spine
* Groin
* Throat
* Back of neck
* The head or face


Techniques not permitted

* Hands, elbows, knees, and kicks to any part of the head
* Any technique to the back of the torso or spine
* Any technique to the groin
* Punches to the throat
* Head thrusts
* Direct kicks to the knee joint
* Punching or kicking an opponent who is down
* Any technique deemed unfair by the referee

Fouls like these will require immediate action, by warning or disqualification. An official warning will carry a one-point deduction.

Protective equipment

* Standard Karate, MMA, style gloves (competitors may bring their own)
* Mouth guard
* Groin guard for male & female fighter
* Hand and joints such as the wrists and ankles can be taped for support. Officials will examine taping before the fight and if found to be excessive or deemed an unfair advantage will not be permitted and must be either removed or modified to comply with judges' ruling.
* Breast guards for female competitors.


Disqualification can be issued to fighters who

* Have not engaged in fighting for more than 30 seconds this is considered as a lack of will to fight
* Violent, have a bad attitude or unsportsman-like conduct
* Have already been issued with two warnings


Failure to Compete

If a referee feels either competitor is fighting too defensively, he/she will call time and administer a warning. If this continues the referee may award a penalty, and possibly terminate the bout.

In any case where the referee decides that the contestants are not honestly competing, that the knockout or the foul is a prearranged termination of the bout, he/she will not finish the knockout count or disqualify a contestant for fouling or render a decision, but shall stop the bout and declare the contest ended not later than before the start of the last round.

The announcer or the referee shall inform the audience that no decision will be rendered.

Failure to Resume Contest

No contestant shall leave the ring during the rest period between rounds.

Should any contestant fail or refuse to resume fighting when the bell sounds denoting the commencement of the next round, the referee will award a technical knockout to his/her opponent as of the round last finished.
