| K-1 is just stand up fighting with no grappling allowed. |

| Oh, thanks. I haven't seen any Pride events so I didn't know they allow grappling. |

It gives an arena for people to test standup fighting skills...I also prefer MMA/NHB..but im suprised to hear this from TKD stlyist..TKD is notorious for teaching little or no grappling...and few admit that it is not realistic. |

| K-1 is a fun sport to follow (sorry, but too much grappling makes me sleepy). In the US I’m beginning to think they try to find the slowest and most inactive K-1 fights of the year, then air them on ESPN 2. Hey does anyone out there follow the middleweight K-1 tournament? I find those fights the neatest but they don’t seem to get as much attention as the heavy guys do. |

Hmm, I prefer watching the HW guys. They have so much more power at their disposal, and I can relate to them better since I'm around that size.
Also the next PRIDE card is stacked as hell and recommend everyone to watch it. |
