It's been a super long time since I've seen one, but I seem to remember it being a little below the belly button.

If for some reason you are serious, plenty of people recorded it so searching for Loch Ness on Twitter should find you a video.

At first I thought this was saying that she just snuck into the hospital and pretended to be a doctor and the other staff just assumed she worked there, but it seems she did actually get hired and just lied about her credentials, which is way less fun

How does that even work? It’s a full contact combat sport, and it’s “illegal” to knock someone out—as if you have full control over this.

Then what’s to stop people from winning important matches by just taking a dive at the first good hit their opponent lands?

It's about landing hits, not hurting your opponent.

The refs had to decide if the knocked-out guy was careless and caused the injury himself, or if the other guy was responsible for striking too hard.

They also had a doctor saying that he wasn't faking it.

Wikipedia says this:

quote:

Strikes below the belt are strictly forbidden and strength must always be controlled as the fighter will receive a warning if they hurt their opponent, points may be lost or there may even be a disqualification if the resulting injury is severe.


(I just read a news article and know barely anything about the sport)

Also, each competitor takes part in a bunch of fights. If they're allowed to gently caress each other up as bad as what happens in MMA either nobody can do more than one fight or every match is a race to land one blow then run out the clock while fleeing to save yourself for the final.

Yeah, there’s a reason MMA fighters only take a handful of fights in a year. Training for one and then recovering from one takes weeks to months. (And so far, it seems to do less long-lasting damage than boxing, although I admittedly don’t know that at all and MMA as we know it really has only been around for maybe 20 years or so.)

Get this, fencing is very specifically not full contact; and it would be drat near impossible to impale someone with a fencing foil with their blunted ends. Take out their eye maybe, but have you seen the the masks fencers wear?

Even so, there is no “pulling” of the actual contact in foil fencing. There might be in saber, but I doubt it.

I've done foil fencing, I know what it's like. It was a joke. I could also have made one about archery or whatever else.

The point is that competition karate is not about doing the most possible damage to your opponents, it's about demonstrating a skillset, and that skillset includes having enough control to tap someone in the head with your foot without putting their lights out.

Rhino, you did this to me!

what a useless skillset.


It does look like he wasn't aiming for a kick to the head, as the foot connected with the lower side and neck, probably was aiming for chest but when he leaned in for the punch it got him higher than intended.

It's also in the spirit of the original Olympics, where one of the most famous wrestling champions actually died during a match and they gave him the victory, as obviously he was willing to go even to the death in order to win.

Once met a fencing coach who claimed he had nearly died like in the 60s when his opponent's Epee snapped in half and he was essentially lunging right into the jagged part where it had broken. Woke up in the hospital after almost bleeding to death. Ended his career as a fencer, but got him into coaching.
