The rules

the "rules" to which the title it it refers are not the sisters of the master and column of Samurai Claudius Rules, but the rules used in the mixed competitions of martial limbs (kneel down in front of you readers for the battered pietosa... to partial justification can say that they have been centered from a remarkable one ginocchiata to the head in training and usually dignitoso mine sense of humour it has abandoned to me and only the refuse is remained to flutter in my brain). However, ban to chiacchiere and we pass to therefore. Pride Fc and Ufc, the two main organizations of mixed martial limbs to the World, use similar, but not identical rules. All the other existing organizations follow one of these two models, with in some small occasions modifications. The first difference is that the encounter of Pride Fc are carried out in a ring, while those of Ufc carry out in one octagonal cage (designed from John Milius, the director of "Conan the Barbarians").
The cage obviously is more rigid and renders more difficult to escape once that you it comes pushes against. The cage therefore favors the combatants who prefer to end to shortest distance from the adversaries, while the ropes of a ring, being more flexible, render the movement for who simpler are found with the back supported to the border of the ring. Pride Fc allows the athletes to wear traditional shoes from fight and uniforms (the olympic champion Hidehiko Yoshida, as an example, often fights wearing the classic judo gi), while the commission Americans, that they follow the rules of Ufc, do not allow to shoes neither uniforms, but demands that all the combatants fight barefoot, to torso knot and wearing pantaloncini short sportswomen. It is Pride Fc that Ufc they demand that the combatants wear paradenti, shell, and open fingers smaller gloves much of the guantoni from boxing (weigh alone 4 ounces). The combats begin in feet. The allowed techniques in feet include given blows with the fists, by hand opened, with forearms, elbows, shoulders, soccer, and ginocchiate. The eyes, the genitals them and the dorsal thorn are between the targets are not concurred. Heads, bites, and seizing the hats are not allowed. All the projections of the fight and the judo are allowed. Articular levers and stranglings also are allowed (to nothing levers to the fingers of the hands and the feet).
If the combatants find themselves in a clinch, can continue to hit. To the combatants he will come allowed to remain less in the clinch than the arbitrator he does not separate them in case that clinch hard the a lot to along without no important activity. In the case that the combatants end to earth (and, in 99% of the cases, this he happens), these can continue to hit from any position find themselves. He is in this area but that the main differences between Pride Fc exist and Ufc. Pride Fc forbids the elbowed ones to the face to earth, while Ufc allows them. Pride but allows the ginocchiate ones to the head, while Ufc forbids to them. In the case that a combatant is back to earth while the other is in feet, Pride Fc allows frankly uses it of soccer also to the head (one of the techniques more alarming in which the Brazilian field chute boxe it is specialized), while Ufc forbids them. Articular Stangolamenti and levers are allowed except the levers to the fingers and those that bill-poster the neck in diagonal (in other words, techniques that can break off the neck). The combats can end in vary ways to you. If the combat catches up the end of the prescribed time, the outcome of the encounter will come decided from the judges. Ufc follows the system of the boxing in which every round it comes assigned for 10 to 9 to who seems to have been more effective, or 10 to 8 if the round it has been clearly dominated from a combatant. The points go added to the end in order to decide the winner of the encounter.
The judges of Pride Fc instead do not use the points, but they judge the encounter in its totality (a system to my better warning). The combats can also end before the limit in the case of ko, of abandonment (for accident, yield in the case that strangolamento/leva an articular is applied with happening, because a combatant is tired with being hit), or in the case that is stopped from the arbitrator (in the case that tasks that the continuation of the encounter can put in danger the incolumità of the combatant whom it is losing). The duration of the round defers between the system American and that Japanese. Pride Fc (when she is not in transfer obliged American and therefore to use the local rules) follows format 10/5/5, that it wants to say that first round hard the 10 minuteren, 5 second and the third party (than is carried out alone in the case of important encounter) 5. Everyone of the round of hard Ufc instead 5 minuteren.
The normal encounter are previewed for 3 round, while those for the title it last 5 round. The Japanese organization Shooto is one of the little to use the conteggio in feet (like in the boxing) in the case that a combatant comes spread to earth but rises. Practically every other continuous organization allows that the combat without interruptions until the ko, to the yield or the end of the round.
