Light-contact punches + kicks to permitted target areas; 1 point per clean strike; No knockouts permitted — heavy contact is penalized
Why people argue about this
People often assume that since strikes are allowed in Phase 1 of Ju-Jitsu Fighting, they can go as far as causing a knockout, which is actually prohibited according to the official verdict. The confusion arises because some practitioners and spectators might overlook or misinterpret the specific prohibition on knockouts despite allowing strikes.
