should be the style name for all arts like K1, Sport Karate, Full Contact, Muay Thai, Savate´, Sanda, Burmese Boxing and son on.

So everybody all around the world knows what it means.

What do you think ?

In the seventies Kick-Boxing without low kicks was named Full Contact Karate. The Japanes Karatekas couln´d understand this :)

If some practise Muay Thai without knowing any Thai word for the technuiqes - what is he doing ?

My idea was to find a name for all similar styles, that everbody all around the world can understand.

It´s like Ju-Jutsu, Jiu-Jitsu, Ju-Jitsu, Goshin -Jitsu and so on. They all they they do something different from each other and they are right.:)
