@stealthblade47 You can't get a KO with that much padding just like you can't get a KO in a Kendo match. And the reason it looks so different from Kendo or Escrima is simply because the strikes are chambered differently.

the flourish movement serves a couple of purposes. one, the continual movement is disturbing to your opponent and hides when your actually going to strike. it helps to lull your opponent. two, the constant circular movement creates a lot of whipping power when you strike much like a tres buchet; it also creates a defensive screen against your opponents strikes.

a real competition would not take place in a roped ring, it would restrict the actions of the fighters too much
