Precision about Mansuria Fight
You will find below the rules of Mansuria Fight, and the gestures of the referee (documents in French).
Present rules concern the fight. Several reasons:
- In order to organize inter-styles fighting (kicks and punches are the common basis for these fights).
- To guarantee the stability in time of fight rules, the regulations based on international guidelines that occur regularly for some schools. The fight with kicks and punches, the rules are changing slightly, promotes stability.
The rules of fight of the FMKF enable practitioners to be fully expressed in their art, in conditions as close as possible to the reality of a fight: pace (Case Referees stationed at a minimum), accounting for the actual keys (strength and power are taken into account) , no points if the opponent out of the combat area ... The regulation emphasizes the mastery of techniques and allows the expression of the style of each school.
We urge you to read this regulation, to be aware of its specificity. The arbitral settlement has also been developed in conjunction with the settlement of fight.
