I saw on saturday only. Stayed for around 11 bouts. Sunday skip.

Announcer keep saying "tak boleh main siku, tak boleh main lutut", " bila saya cakap berhenti, berhenti... bila saya cakap lawan, kamu lawan" "Kalau seseorang itu jatuh, janganlah rembat lagi"

The announcer then referred the fighters with fruits. the red glove , strawberry, orange glove is oren. So sometimes he would say "bagi dia perisa strawberry" .If the match sucked he says "kedua dua put takda rasa perisa...."

Sideline.. some guy keep making jokes about "barang" .. was funny at 1st but later got abit tiring. When got walkover, he used the word "Barang" as the guy's barang is too powerful until the opponent did not want to fight. I later realized barang sometimes meant the groin guard". The participants not allowed to use own groin guard. Must use supplied groin guard. Use string to tie 1 and not the tkd zap-on type. ahaha.. . All fighters only wear boxing gloves and groin guard. no other protection is allowed.

They are abit lenient on late comers. 3 calls on the loud speaker. Maybe wait a few minutes to allow the fighter to reach the ring, then wait some more to wear the glove, tape the glove with cellophane,then find out the groin guard not properly tied and go run to back room to retie, then inspection, finally enter the ring.

Generally, I see those muay thai and kick boxing style or boxing + brave to initiate attack are the best there. Direct go in and hit, no fancy stuff. Saw several backswings attempts but all miss. Got 1 thin tkd guy, but he didn't have distance (opponent keep close) and kept off balance. Usual thing I guess. Low kicks are allowed. I saw a few low roundhouses to thigh and back of the knee area.


Most embarrasing is the S**at. Many colorful hand gestures and poses, but get whacked by the direct kicks and punches. Even kneel down in the ring ready to attack. How tempting it is to do a headshot. . There was 1 S**at (I THINK) person did quite well, but he stick to punches and kick without the flowers. (I guess silat has many types so could be different school)

Saw a few good one's who clearly have experience fighting before. A few clowns and some ok ok guys who can punch and kick but lack stamina. Mostly malay participants and spectators. I think i was the only chinese guy standing at 1 side, another 2 stood for a few moments then left. Got a few chinese fighters (wushu/muaythai) but no indian fighthers. I was expecting a few indian karate fighters, but none during my watch.


Can see that the ring referees are experienced. They do rush in to stop matches at the appropriate times.

Note:
Every participant wore standard event singlet, but is free to choose their pants. So I partly observe and tell which fighter is from which art by the pants and of course from their fighting actions.

The 'barang' guy was a malay man. Sometimes his jokes were funny. i now recall the commentator saying " kedua dua badan pun sedap" haha..He also mentioned on Saturday there would be 39 bouts.

patoh79, I was standing behind the Bell boy,head judge area. I was wearing a red shirt . haha.. we have never seen each other b4, I dun think we will recognize each other there . I was there from 3pm to 5 something. kaki also kebas standing so long.

I know that Jak Othman school sent a team. 1 of them won(Name was Wee something) and another lost.

Ah Tian and friends.. U mean the brothers? 1 of them is botak rite? I saw one of them win, another 1 lose.

Yes yes . The final will be at Dataran Merdeka. Can't remember it was 31st or 1st sept.

Like proton lor, engine name is Campro, but actual cam profiling feature is missing.

kicking below belt allowed. Ground i duno, but I saw a few takedowns which were not penalized. Referee just halt the match and break them apart.

lol.. so funny that video.. all the martial art wannabe's doing their best but can 't hit a dead mouse even if it's already dead.

Capoeira, any videos or can explain, which kicks u you for which situation? Would you be caught offguard if a quick attack comes while 1 of your legs is extended to the back while doing Ginga?

I'm interested to know, cause there should be a longer recovery time for normal capoeira fighters after a big aerial flip, which the other styles will take advantage and attack.
