Ah, that's why I was confused. I didn't realized we switched from WT to other rule sets.

I read that as, "You just have to change your name to adjust for the possibility of a groin kick". Seemed pretty drastic.You just have to change your game to adjust for the possibility of a groin kick...but it also opens up the option for the TKD fighter...
What bout arts where sparring lets you punch to the head but not kick below the waist? How about kicking below the waist but no groin shots? What iff they allow ll that but no eye pokes? Biting? Small joint manipulation" and so on.
We have some people right now pushing to make groin contact illegal. A lot of the TKD schools won't come and compete due to the groin contact.
I hope they don't change it. Groin contact makes you honest with your kicking....you balance with your lead leg up and chambered you are going to have a rough day. It solves the problem of too much lead leg fencing.
