As the situation is now in NSW since 2-3 years ago an introduction of a government appointed Combat Sports board (CSA) has legislated the wearing of headgear for amateur Muaythai/kickboxing/boxing Athletes on approved fight shows.

Is it beneficial to fighters safety? or is it making more problems?
