A platform for performance of personal combat martial arts is made with a
concave upper surface having a central generally flat region for main
performance surrounded by a border region that slopes upwardly to the
platform periphery, so that instead of the traditional impasse and fight
interruption experienced when a combatant is forced into the border
region, ropes or corners of conventional flat fight rings, the action
tends to continue and automatically gravitate back into the main central
region without interruption. A full-height constraint net that slopes
upwardly and inwardly further urges combatants away from the periphery
and safely prevents bodily ejection, thus protecting ringside spectators
while providing all spectators with a good view of the sports action.
