Rules
The rules are typical of other full contact striking competitions, with some minor variation.
Any striking techniques from Boxing, International-Style Kickboxing, and Full-Contact Karate were allowed.
In order to maintain the fast pace of the action, clinching, holding or ground fighting (grappling) were prohibited.

Famous quotes containing the word rules:
“There are different rules for reading, for thinking, and for talking. Writing blends all three of them.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Life is a game in which the rules are constantly changing; nothing spoils a game more than those who take it seriously. Adultery? Phooey! You should never subjugate yourself to another nor seek the subjugation of someone else to yourself. If you follow that Crispian principle you will be able to say “Phooey,” too, instead of reaching for your gun when you fancy yourself betrayed.”
—Quentin Crisp (b. 1908)
“Syntax and vocabulary are overwhelming constraints—the rules that run us. Language is using us to talk—we think we’re using the language, but language is doing the thinking, we’re its slavish agents.”
—Harry Mathews (b. 1930)
