For those wondering about the score board you have to keep in mind this is a competitive competition where accurate clean hits are pointed. If it wasn't clean you got no points.
Can someone explain the scoring to me? If both opponents hit one another, how does the scoring go to just 1 fighter? Why doesn't a counter and attack count as a point? (I'm not a martial artist btw)
There are couple hit from Hong Li but no points??? Damn...... what's wrong with this competition... the other competition that I have watched has no problem.
I can see what appear, from the camera angle, to be scoring shots by Li, so I guess the judges have a better view for distance etc. The kick at 6:02 is a good example. Two judges and a ref couldn't miss a shot like that.
Hraptor This is a final match in WKF event. even though the Chinese lose but it doesn't mean the Chinese is poor in any sense. She is still damn good and still better than 99% of the other practitioners in the world! You can say that the French is better than the Chinese in this match, but you sounds racist to generalize and say it is "chinese quality".
