“Out of every one hundred men,
ten shouldn’t even be there,
eighty are just targets,
nine are the real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they make the battle.
Ah, but the one, one is a warrior, and he will bring the others back.”

Train Hard, (makes the) Fight Easy…
These are full contact competitions, on mats (bigger area than boxing ring), against other novice fighters,
Stand Up fighting, and you are allowed to throw if you get in a clinch, (then ref will stop/restart fight) there is no
ground fighting in this competition.
If you are sensible come along and watch first – or just train and enter without watching a competition first !!!
– “First Full Contact competition I ever saw, I was fighting in it, if I had seen one first, reckon I’d been too afraid to ever enter !!”
