The male fighters must be bare-chested, wear gear protector under their trunks –the rules allow attacking the vital spots-, and wearing fighting clothes that representing their martial arts. The female fighters wear shorts and sport bra. Both male and female fighters must wear a mouth protector.
Next, fighters must enter a cage to fight. If a fighter intend to end the match in short time by used his or her special move, it will only bring him or her into danger. If the move fails, their opponent will knows how they fight and they will have more chance to win. That is why at early round with five minutes time limit per round, the fighter will only try to make their opponent exhausted.
The last step is to bring the opponent down. Both fighters usually become exhausted in three rounds. This is a crucial time when both fighters will used their own deadly brutal move to beat up the opponent, usually by attacked the vital spots. The winner will be choose if the opponent has knocked out, the corner man throws a towel, the ring doctor stopped the match after checking the fighter, or forfeit.
