Would this be considered within the normal range of glyphic variation?
Would an icon of two pugilists fighting be an acceptable rendering of
a BOXING GLOVE emoji?

BTW, speaking as a martial artist myself, I have to say an empty dogi
is an odd representation for martial arts, even specifically Japanese
ones. The proposal says that it could be used for judo, karate, and
tae kwon do; it at least matches the first two (they are distinct, but
not in a way that would , and practice uniforms for TKD are similar,
but competitive TKD under WTF rules (including Olympic competition)
uses several pieces of protective equipment (helmet, gloves, chest
guard) with colored padding over the dobok.
