In saying the above I would like to add that the interclubs I have attended over the years:

Arjarn Sken
Kru Steve Logan
Kru Gary Wright
Kru Bill Judd
Kru Sandy Holt

These have been well organised and the safety of the 'fighter' was paramount

The above have a wealth of experience as I am sure do many camps that put on these shows. It just seems that lately everyone wants to do their own interclub (and this is a good thing) but as more of these 'first timers' prop up there seems to be little consistency.

Everyone wants to showcase their event as being one of the best and I can understand this but to be honest we really need to be careful when we offer 5 rounders and different levels of contact, this is opening up the proverbial 'can of worms'

We have rules for Amateur and pro I belive their should be set rules for Interclub too (why should they be any different)

My idea is simply this (but of course this is only one idea)

ADULTS
Controlled contact (especially to the head)
No elbows
No knees to the face
Full protective equipment:
14-16oz gloves (16oz if over 80kg)
gum-shield
groin box
body armour
shin pads

CHILDREN (Under 18)
As above but 100% no head contact
(Head gear and gumshield still mandatory in case of accidental strikes)

Rounds = 3 x 1.5 mins for adults 3 x 1 min for children

There should be no exceptions to these rules.

In addition all clubs should ensure proper insurance covers them in the event of injury this is also the responsibility of the 'host' club

Gentlemen, Heavy contact interclubs really need to stop now! The future of Muay Thai (sport) is being showcased and responsibility lies with you. Lets treat interclubs as they are, light contact sparring sessions to enable the less experienced student to showcase and test their skill against other likewise students.

Keep the 'wannabees' and 'bullies' out they can 'test themselves under full rules or amateur rules

Interclubs are not a competition and are not about winning

The above are just my thoughts interpret them how you will,I just personally belive that we all have a responsibility to our sport/art and above all our students
