Im stepping up here to defend Liams argument but at the same time acknowledge the place of K1 as a spectator sport.

At the 02 arena i attended 6 fighters post fight and suchered all 6. Over 67 stitches in total.....Muay Thai comes at a price. Serious damage and possible disfigurement. Those that choose to compete under those rules show particular courage and determination worthy of distinction. And maybe those individuals feel (rightly) that they are a cut above. Liam is such a man.

However; K1 embraces the dynamics of the Thai bout but limits the potential for career shortening wounds. Its possibly easier for an uninitiated audience to understand. So speed, power, excitment,limited potential for damage and an easy to grasp format makes for popular and accessable sport.

Regardless of its origins. K1 really does combine most of the elements of Thai but without the nasty stuff. Possibly its a way for experienced Thai fighters to further their careers?

So rather than debate origins and create division. Lets celebrate that we can two related ring sports we can appreciate.

And good luck to Liam and Andy this weekend.....
