I want to know again why our arts cannot be successful or have not being successful in combat sports. Aside from the "deadly" factor (which is a major excuse used in our arts) in that the rules do not allow for breaking arms, biting, kicking the nuts or eye gauging. Why can't an IMA guy take his art and make it fit within the rule framework and be successful in sports competition? I mean, kicking someone in the nuts, biting or sticking your finger in one's eye isn't exactly high level secret stuff that combat sports competitors wouldn't be able to do in self defense situations as well.

I have a gun, and you have a gun. You say your shooting skill is better and then challenge me. We go to some remote place take our guns and on count three shoot each other simultaneously. Perhaps the one who shoots better survive to see another day.
Sport full contact :
I have a air gun with rubber bullets and you have air gun with rubber bullets. You say your shooting skill is better, advertise competition on national TV, and challenge me. We go to some public place, and in front of the crowd shoot each other on count three. Perhaps the one can't take more pain at the moment will be able to rematch another day.

I don't think it's quite correct representation. Sanda/sanshou is a sport which based on CMA
Sanda is kickboxing.
