Nephilim "Personally I think kickboxers want to claim K1 and even thai as "just another form of kickbxoxing" because, yeah as someone said above, its about associating itself with what is obviously, and is perceived by even joe public as, a tougher sport"

I certainly don't mean it in that way and really can't understand people that think that way. But at the same time and to some extent, is Muay Thai not doing that with K-1 due to it's popularity? I am sure you may disagree but i'm sure some are - ie calling k-1 rules modified muay thai, etc. If we look at Muay Thai as fought in Thailand, then surely isn't N/C/B class all modified Muay. As i say, not arguing just debating.



If someone could come up with an actual definition of 'Kickboxing' then we'd all know where we're coming from. I get the feeling that when some people mention Kickboxing they really mean Full Contact.

Well said. Some people are getting their knickers in a twist when it's only a forum and people expressing opinions/debating.
