What do ya'll think of these rules?

XG is a combination of Muay Thai and San Shou. Allowing punches, kicks, low kicks, knees, elbows, throws and takedowns. What makes it different? The competitors wear MMA gloves.

I for one would love to compete under these rules.

I'd watch this just as I do the WCL....if it's on and I happen upon it while channel surfing. It reads to be a form of modified MMA stand-up.

Sounds fun to watch.

Sounds good, however, if no points are awarded for takedowns, whats the incentive? Also, why are knee and elbow strikes not allowed to the head?

it sounds like a great sport. solves the stalling in the guard problem of MMA.
