Rules for Events
Sparring: In many ways Sparring resembles a game of tag. The
object is to score a point to a legal target area. A point
is scored when
a punch or kick is thrown toward a legal target area on the
opponent. Legal target areas include: Front of the body from
belt to top
of head, sides of body and head, and back of head. No points
are scored
to the back of the body or below the belt. Discretion is used
according to rank as to the degree of precision and control
needed to score
a point. Parents are encouraged to outfit their children with
a complete set of foam sparring gear. Foam gear is worn only
to protect
against
accidental contact, not to encourage contact.
Forms, Weapons Forms, Musical Forms: Forms are pre-arranged
sets of moves designed to develop fighting skills. Judges give
a score
based on : Balance, Precision, Power, Concentration and Spirit.
All forms are judged on an individual basis according to rank,
not against
the other competitors. In this manner, all competitors have
an equal chance of winning.
Self Defense: Competitors will perform up to THREE (3) pre-arranged
techniques for the judges with a partner as the attacker. At
the completion of the techniques, the competitor may be asked
to perform
all techniques again (the higher of the scores will be taken).
Judges will award points based on control, precision, power,
and spirit.
Although your events will only be a portion of the day, we
encourage you to come early and stay later to see some of the
other events
and age groups compete. Watching other events can be almost
as much of a learning experience as actually competing!
