GENERAL SPARRING RULES

Junior safety rules: Ages 5-11 black belt devisions, ages 12-13 color belt divisions , & ages 14-17 all belt devisions

The rules concerning a kick to the face shall be as follows:

• The competitor is allowed to kick to the facial area; however, the kick must be light contact with absolute control without causing any injury or excessive contact, or the appropriate penalty shall be invoked.

• The competitor who executes a successful technique (light contact without causing any injury) shall be awarded one point.

• The competitor who executes a kick to the face which results in a minor injury shall receive a one-point deduction. A minor injury is defined as abrasion or bleeding caused by non-excessive contact. The referee, with or without consultation with the tournament physician, shall determine if the abrasion or bleeding is a minor injury, and if the attack is a non-excessive one.

• The competitor who executes a kick to the face which results in the inability of the opponent to continue sparring because of injury shall be disqualified. The referee, with or without consultation with the tournament physician, shall determine if the attack is an excessive contact, and if the injury is a major one.NOTE: Inability to continue because of fright, crying or loss of will following a legal kick to the head which did not cause injury does not constitute grounds for disqualification of the attacker.

Adult safety rules: 14–17 Year Old Black Belts and Senior Division All Belts

• Two point scores for head contact shall be awarded. Extra point awarded in the event the referee begins an 8-count for a legal technique, total 3 points.
