Full Thai Rules In The USA?

**KFighter** · Posted On: 10/17/2007 4:54pm

Where can you find Full Thai Rules (Elbows, Knee's to the face) in the USA. Every org I see (IKF, ISKA, WAKO) only allows them below the shoulder. I know the WBC does Full Thai, but who else does?

I intend to offer full MuayThai rules for amateurs this coming year. I still have a few things to get into place first, though. Fighters who qualify for these matches will be required to wear headgear and elbow pads (NO shinpads!), and will fight for 5x 2-min rounds.

The sanctioning body called the "Global Combat Alliance" (GCA) promotes MuayThai using full rules for professionals and amateurs. Their website is gcafights.com

Nice. I've been to a few MT smokers (including one that you put on) and thinking that this isn't MT.. this is k-1!

This just in.....

I don't have the exact date or venue nailed down, but my next event will be full MuayThai rules!

We're looking at either February 23rd or March 1st of 2008 in Northern VA

Check out the S1. They've held fights in Florida that were Full Muay Thai rules. Some of it depends on the state. I am pretty sure their have been full MT rules bouts fought in Texas and Louisiana in the past.
