Yes, of course, you're right - not sure why I forgot about those martial arts. Kyokushin gets some criticism for not doing strikes to the head, and I suppose you can argue that in boxing and muay thai you wear gloves and you do have to hold back in training. Still a lot better than throwing kicks into thin air though, and it gives you a huge advantage over untrained opponents.

As for gi/no-gi, I prefer gi because it feels more technical, and it gives me an advantage over younger and more athletic training partners. I enjoy training both, though.

I'm glad you liked it, I'll post more in the future.
