Full contact

About this sport

Full contact is a ring combat sport where punches and kicks are used with full power, above the waist, under strict rules and protections. Historically very present in Morocco, it was for years one of the most practiced combat sports in the country, and many clubs keep this tradition alive. Training resembles kickboxing: footwork, guard, punches and kicks worked on pads and bags, then combinations and tactical work. Physical conditioning holds a large place, with demanding rounds that build endurance and power. Beginners learn the techniques without contact before any supervised sparring, which remains optional for leisure practitioners. Full contact suits people who like sustained intensity and the atmosphere of traditional combat gyms. Clubs exist in many Moroccan cities, often led by coaches with long experience of the ring.
