Question to anyone

[Alan]

I'm quite new to mma as i live in england and it isn't exactly huge over here, i was wondering just exactly what the rules were?

I'm guessing:

no pressure point striking,
no eye gouging,
no finger locks,
no hair-pulling,
no biting,
no groin strikes,
no kicking opponent on ground,
no side kicks to knee?

Is that about right? I've seen a load of low round kicks, so i'm guessing low stamping kicks 'aint allowed....

Those are the basic rules, but they vary from event to event.

Some allow pressure point striking, kicking an opponent on ground, & any type of kicking.

Side kicking a guy's knee is usually not a problem because in reality it's such an impractical thing to do. Although usually not technically illegal, good sportsmanship prevents it.
