I have given you tonnes of examples of K-1 being classed as a Kickboxing style... websites... etc.... if you wish to ignore this then it is your choice.
You posted on here, directed at me, regarding my post saying that the tournament rules would be in line with what other Kickboxing promotions are using in Europe. As not everyone is aware of this, I added that the rules would include Knee-Kicks.
Then I backed this up with website links, even going as far as listing the official rules from the K-1 website. This website that stated the 2010 World HW Grandprix was the worlds premiere Kickboxing event ( the year Alister Overeem won ).
At least Liam R has posted... saying this is what he had been told. Fair dues to him.
PaulinThailand could have manned up and said, fair enough Neil, especially when I listed knee-kicks from the K-1 website.... still it is his choice.
You are just ignoring what has been explained to you.
I know several respected names from U.K. Muaythai who have been deeply immersed in Muaythai for many years, come back from the Kickboxing gala's in Europe with a more open opinion, as they have seen the Kickboxing format being used and how big popular Kickboxing format has become.
Knees and Elbows may well once have been the dividing line between Muaythai and particular style of Kickboxing like Full-Contact. We now live in the 21st century, and Kickboxing promotion know stage bouts under K-1 rules, allowing Knee-Kicks.
ItsShowtime, Glory-World-Series etc... are not K-1 promotions, these are KICKBOXING PROMOTIONS.
