Full contact as a concept is fine as it is (in terms of rules) - elbows/knees whatever you add its no longer full contact. Full contacts problem is its image. Moon boots and shin pads are a dated concept, i have no problem fighting without them as do i imagine most fc fighters because they are fighters.

Trousers - dont look as good as shorts. FACT! With the popularity of mma, k1 and thai moon boots and trousers look softer and less edgy - i know its the sport we love but thats how it is to the general public.

I dont know any fighters who "dont like low kicks" because they hurt. They are fighters, they get punched in the face for a laugh - a limp for a couple of week isnt the end of the world. And kicking bare shin and blocking shin to shin smashes shins anyway so might as well have low kicks in.

I love k1 and i love fc. But they are different sports. I do both but train differently for each. There are things you can do in fc that you can't in k1 and vice versa. I love boxing and you can use a wider range of boxing skills in fc than k1. But i love the different skill set required for k1 and the damage that you can do with low kicks and knees.

They are different. K1 is like a thai/kb hybrid i think bastardizing it any further with more dilution doesn't really make sense.

Why would you need to do that? Stylistically what would be the impact? Knees can limit boxing even further than low kicks if used properly so it doesn't make any sense to have low kicks out at that point. If k1 is a hybrid of styles this sound like a mongrel!!! ;)
