True Sean J... Although I've sparred bare knuckled in Kyokushin, there's no punching to the face, only kicking (in 100% full contact). I've witnessed strong kicking with knockdown in regular practice. That's about it... No punching to the face. People that get crazy in sparring are just not allowed to do so. There are particular rules. Bare knuckled punching to the face is not typical of MA as far as I know, there's always gloves. Even Muay Thai uses them. Correct me if I'm wrong...
Thanx for all the discussion created along this thread. We sure get along fine, regarding our differences. Keep it up.
Later...
