Black Belt Sparring Rules

To score 2 points:

Hip Toss (arms must be around the opponents back)

Front/Side dump. The attack can only be directed at the lower mid section, and not to the knee. Point will be given to the aggressor.

Knock Down from either punch or kick (mandatory 8 second count).

Catching opponents leg when they execute a kick is allowed, with the option of sweeping the back leg or raising their leg so they fall (attacking the joints is strictly prohibited).

Sweeping/throwing techniques can only be executed from a standing position. No holding will be allowed to the head/neck position.

To score 1 point:

Punching to the head or mid section.

Kicking to the head, mid section or outer thigh.

Pushing off the mat. If someone is pushed off the mat 3 times in one round, then they lose that round.

This is in conjunction to our normal NPC rules.
