Last year the SENSHI fight nights introduced the rules and regulations of the KWU International Professional League.
The main goal was not only a bigger attraction to the crowd but returning to the glorious past and the traditions of Kyokushin. There were full contact fights with blows to the head, takedowns, and elbows.
The idea started with the opening SENSHI fight night. There was one fight under those rules while the second fight night produced 4 full contact bouts.
The crowd obviously loved it and the fans started to require more and more.
By the end of 2019, we witnessed SENSHI Cup – a two-day tournament that included fights conducted under the KWU SENSHI rules. There was also an exciting fight night in Varna that produced 5 fights conducted under the KWU Full Contact rules, 4 fights under the KWU SENSHI rules, and three clashes that were conducted under the K-1 rules.
Here’s a quick reminder of what is prohibited and what is allowed under the regulations of the KWU International Professional League.
