NO offense intended, but why don't TCMA events do full contact anymore? NACMAF had lei tai/sanshou/san da.....

I'd like to hang out with some of the old TCMA crowd, but since all we do is fighitng now, no point if there is't competition....

You could rent a boxing ring, and probably also add INCOME to your event
