Pre-fight briefing is mandatory meeting must be attended by all coaches and contestants before fighting tournament, very important to socialize the tournament rules used by the organizer.
There are so many fighting tournament organizers nowadays, with they own personal taste. Those organizers created their own rules based on their personal taste, that why pre-fight briefing is important.
Pre-fight briefing is a must. Here some cases from my experiences in various fighting tournament events since 1996:
1. Some Taekwondo organizers permit all basic punches and kicks (like ITF and WTSDA). Other organizers only permit kicks (like WTF and Kukkiwon).
2. Some Karate organizers use point fighting tournament system (like WKF and JKA). Other organizers use continuous fighting tournament system (like WKC and WFMAF).
3. Some Kickboxing organizers only instruct simple trouser for their event costume. Other organizers instruct japanese obi belt (red vs blue belt or black vs white belt fighting match).
Although there are so many martial art tournament organizers with different personal taste, at least all good martial art tournament organizers are agree with 1 thing: Ban all pressure point strikes and elbow-knee strikes for safety.
