Martial Art Sports Rules Analysis

As mentioned here, insight into combat techniques' effectiveness may be gained from analyzing various sport martial arts' rules. I have started with some of the most obvious or easiest to research.

Judo has a laundry list of rules

Tae Kwon Do has fewer rules than I thought, but the striking zones are way more restrictive than I ever imagined

Competitive Karate

The UFC rules are written very clearly (simplistically), but they are way more restrictive than most people realize I think (hardly no holds bar).

Fencing

• A linear carpet playing field
• Perry before counterattacking (epee)

Dog Brothers

• Helmet
• Gloves (why wear them if they don't make a huge difference?)

 "Dog Brother stickfighting rules are simple. Each person gets 

to check the other combatant's weapon to make sure that it is

  all right for the experiment at hand. The sticks are usually
  made of rattan and are about three-fourths to five-fourths of
  an inch in diameter and 28-to-32 inches in length. A
  formidable weapon to be sure. Other weapons are sometimes
  used such as a hardwood octagonal nunchuku, three-section
  staff, chain, tonfas, staff, sickle, or bokken. The fighters
  then don fencing masks and light protective gloves. An
  occasional elbow or kneepad is allowed as well."
