- Yes, i was at one of these type of competitions back on October 24th
- at the Park West in downtown Chicago. It was sponsored by Shidokan Karate.
- It was a full contact, no protection, bare knuckle fight. It was awesome
- competition. These fighters are a special breed.
-
- The only place contact was not allowed was to the face with a fist. The
- fighters could kick to the face/head, just no direct punches. And there were
- lots of kicks to the face/head. There was also a significant amount of
- blood. (we had rink side seats and could hear contact being made)
-
- If you ever get a chance to see this kind of tournament, it is well worth
- it in my opinion.
-
- Additional information: the next Weekend War kickboxing tournament in
- Chicago is December 5th at St. Viator's Rec Center at the corner of
- Addison & Kedvale.
