Recently, match rules have been revised to a great extent: the introduction of the point system that makes game judgment more sport-like than before, the use of different colors for wrist guards (blue and red, where previously both players wore white wrist guards and a red belt was used to distinguish a red player from a white player), and--in a more minute aspect--changes in the numbers and standing positions of referees.
近年では、勝負の判定を従来よりスポーツライクなものとしたポイント制や、拳サポーターの色分け（青と赤、従来は両者が白で、赤と白の区別は赤帯を用いていた）、細かなものでは審判の人数や立ち位置など、ルールにかなりの見直しが施されている。
