It is more of a sport or a free-form martial art with a few safety rules and an honor based 'winner' system. Obviously they cannot kill or maim each other to determine the victor. Hits are thrown at about 80% force, enough to leave some serious bruising and welts. You can research all you want on fighting styles, but once you are on the field, there is no choreography, it is skill on skill. In eastern martial arts, you can go through all of the kata's till you can do them in your sleep, but unless you learn to fight, you are going to get your butt handed to you by a street thug.
