Some intresting points. Marlon raises some good ones about scoring.
I gave up Full Contact cause I no longer agree with the direction it is taking, ie judging, scoring etc it just became boring and by making the whole thing more professional, put it out of reach of most people. Good amateurs soon realise they have to train 6 days a week to fight 10 rounds for no money, a recipie for ruin if ever I saw one.
I like less rounds. 10 rounds is boring to me with to many technical fights which no one is really interested in. Full Contact is rooted to the spot when other sports are adapting to become more appealing.
Give it a go Jon but heres one point you might want to consider. By taking out the low kick elements, you wont get many Thai/K1 style fighters intrested. By including kness and no shinnies, you are limiting how many FC fighters you will attract. Do you get it? You're kinda stuck in the middle.
Again Marlon has handed you the key. Put the low kicks in but change the scoring criteria to achieve the result that you and hopefully the public want to see. Make your USP the rule set that will give the styles a chance to meet in the middle.
I would love you to get some of those karate/Tae kwon Do guys in there in they're suits and black belts to. Be great fun and a whole new market for you.
