I just discovered this, and it's amazing. However, I see some issues with the judging. I find it hard to place blame as they clearly know what they're doing and are quality judges, but its hard to see everything thats going on in real time. This sport would benefit from an instant replay system with slow motion, kind of like how it's presented on youtube. There were a number of times Adam should have been awarded a point when no points were awarded. There was also an engagement that Jason was awarded a point when it was clear in slow motion he missed and was countered to the head. He got the point, but in reality, his head, neck, or face would have a deep gash. I like this but have issues with it at the same time. I think for the sport to grow, the judging would need to be accurate, and the simple fact is that the judges need technological assistance. Regardless, you gained a new subscriber in me after also discovering the classes which and nicely organized into playlist. Thank you for all your hard work.
Yeah it’s really difficult for the judges. Especially when you take into account the angle at which they’re standing. For instance the judge on the back left is most likely to award me the point because it would be easier for him to see my weapon hit Jason, while the judge on the back right would be more likely to award Jason the point. And the head judge can only see what is on his side. They do the best they can which is why I don’t ever argue with their calls like some other people do. If I know I should have gotten the point but didn’t. What that tells me is that I need to be better and make it more clearly obvious to everyone that I got the hit without being hit. Guess I just need to be better 😂 Thanks for the comment 💪

This would also help when both land but the quality of strikes are vastly different.
