Well it would be nice if "we" could create something new, how "we" would do that I have no idea..
But one option that I like for training and that could cross over to a competition format is the full-contact knockdown match.. borrowed from Kyokushin but allowing attacks to the head.
It's a good balance of full contact with emphasis on a quick win, power, energy issuing and limited time for severe damage.
If I get a school going in the future this is one model I would use.
