I, uh... Not sure that you should be uploading your agents' research material, K1.

Hey dudes, what would be some good particularly good kickboxing cards to watch? I'm especially interested in old K-1 cards (this has nothing to do with having a source for them, cough cough) (this also has nothing to do with my boner for 1 night/1 week tournaments, ahack, splat), but I'm down with whatever anyone can point me towards.

Thanks for the recommendations, fellas. I'll see what I can scratch together of the 2009 run.


Also what the gently caress, K-1 Sumo Tournament, that's magically Japanese.

as a pro wrestling fan first and foremost, kickboxing is great for when I feel like everyone I'm watching is a monster, and that too many of them are alive and not in jail

Dunno if much is going on these days, so here's some more vintage longpants kickboxing vs Muay Thai.

good poo poo, thanks. I really love that one where the long pants dude is getting stretchered out while one of the commentators indignantly rants about "what kind of coward kicks a man in the legs!? It doesn't take ANY skill to kick a man in the legs!"

i used to love watching Chuck Norris's World Combat League at like 2am on spike or wherever it aired. That poo poo was so silly. Team-based longpants kickboxing, a passivity rule so intense that you would get warned and docked by the referee for basically ever backing away or circling ever, and Pat Barry was in it for a while.

I found some DVDs in the dollar bin recently and I am in love with that goofy, goofy kick show.

Longpants kickboxing gets my respect, not really great to watch but whatever. WCL, on the other hand, was fun as hell. Everyone seemed to go into WCL with a karate-rear end-kick fantasy, and matches ended when one person was better at realizing their vision than the other.



and others were exactly what you'd expect, and it's similarly great:



Also for some reason the guy who hosted the "best knockouts" dvd kept calling the heavyweights "big boys"

serious question: Were the classic long pants kickboxing rules just an American thing? Or were they enforced elsewhere? I know there were different ruling bodies and different restrictions and etc. but was, say, the Dutch scene drastically different than the American scene back then?
