Sweet HL. Not to be "that guy" but isn't K-1 a competition between a lot of striking Martial Arts and it itself isn't one? Or is it considered one now?

I'm no expert but I would say it's still a bunch of different styles of striking facing each other. However some guys have made their styles to the K-1 Rules.

More or less they are talking about the globalization they are trying to take K-1 to and most people when they hear martial arts think of striking and K-1 is all about finding the "single best stand-up fighter".
