What is K-1 Max?

So I heard on Friday that some of you don't know what K-1 Max is *GASPS*. It's a crime to be training muay thai, kickboxing, sanda or even boxing and not know what K-1 Max is! Here are two of the best K-1 Max clips I know on the net. The creator Shunsuke is a big K-1 Max fan and makes the bets highlight clips I've seen.

K-1 Max is the biggest and I dare say best stand up fighting promotion in the world. K-1 is a Japanese promotion but they typically have fighters from around the world competing. The promoters of K-1 are originally from Shidokan Karate which is an offshoot of Kyokushin. As such the rules of K-1 are not Muay Thai rules. They only allow one knee per clinch before you have to disengage. There is no elbows and the rounds are 3 x 3. They hold several events throughout the year culminating in a World Final event sometime in late June or early July where all the winners in the year fight it out in a tournament style format.

Despite the crappy clinching rules and the sometimes biased judging, K-1 Max is still the best kickboxing show in the world. Top quality fighters and top fights! Start watching and reading about K-1 Max guys!
