NEW FOR SOUTH AFRICAN MUAYTHAI: TATAMI

On Saturday 24 October, EFL Contenders 01 brings in something most of you haven't seen yet.

Tatami by day. Full contact by night.

So what is the tatami event?

This year IFMA, the Olympic-recognised world body for Muaythai, made a new discipline official. It's called Muaythai Technical, or semi contact.

Here's how it works:

🥊 It's fought on mats, not in a ring. There are no ropes, so footwork and knowing where you are on the mat matter.

🥊 It's light, controlled contact. Full power strikes aren't allowed, and hitting too hard is a foul.

🥊 Clean technique wins. Judges score timing, accuracy and control, not who hits harder.

🥊 Nobody is supposed to get hurt. If you drop or injure your opponent, YOU get disqualified.

🥊 Every fighter does the Wai Kru before round 1. It's still real Muaythai, culture and all.

🥊 For the young ones, it's even safer. Under 12s throw no strikes to the head. Under 14s throw no elbows or knees to the head.

Who is it for?

👉 Kids and juniors who are ready to compete but not ready for full contact
👉 New fighters who want their first real bout
👉 Masters, 35 and up, who still want to compete without the full contact beating
👉 Experienced fighters who want to test their technique

Think of it like this: it's Muaythai where skill beats power.

Then at night, the ring opens up for the full contact fight night.
