Rules for sparring?

[norther practitioner]

rule 1. If you're losing, kick him in the ballz
rule 2. If you're winning, watch out. He's probably going to try to kick you in the ballz.

lmfao... too true..



geez, no does eye gauges full contact?

Rule No. 1---Don't stop after every hit and ask if the other person is alright.

Rule No. 2---Only hit someone as hard as you are willing to be hit.

Rule No. 3---Always wear a mouth guard.

MT:

leg kicks and knees are allowed.

if you catch his kick, you can kick his support leg and knock him down.

strikes to the kidney area are allowed.


judo:

no striking (that can be seen, anyway)
no leg or spine locks
no eye gouging or fish hooking

there are rules that pertain to the gi and such, but I'm headed to the gym and am not typing it right now.


bjj:

no striking (that can be seen)
no heel hooks
no eye gouging or fish hooking

I would say no shots to the nads, but those happen all the time. Best idea is to wear a cup.

No throws without a mat, (we have a concrete floor covered with paper-thin carpet) but sweeps and leg/foot picking are OK. Nothing like eye gouging, joint/limb destruction, etc.

Other than that, we pretty much use Becca's guidelines:

1. Don't spar above your partner's level unless they wish it.
2. Don't deliberatly go for a strike that could cause injury unless your controll is up to it AND your partner is OK with you trying it on them.
3. Don't use any more force than you want used on you. You punch/kick hard, you will get hit hard right back.
4. Don't pick a partner who isn't up to your level of skill/strength if you want a good workout.
5. Be safe.

Oh, and newbies are discouraged from head strikes.

Ninth-

why the hell you worried about other folks sparring? Ive sparred you before! You dont need to go anywhere else! Quit bothering with these guys and get to training.....

Way to go! Restrict poisonous outside information from corrupting your system....

Groin strikes, when pulled off, are purty (unless you're the poor sumbich that takes it).

Our rules:

No throat, knee, eye strikes. Controlled kicks to back are OK, but control is paramount.

Leg checks are fine, no full-out leg kicks, unless you're feeling dam lucky.

No takedowns w/o a mat.

No elbows.

Knees are exceptionally controlled, usually to groin, solarplexus. recommended only for advanced students.

Kick 'em in the ballz. Hard.

Hit only as hard as yo bich-@$$ can take it (my phrasing).

Don't injure you're partner.

Protect yourself at all times.

All non-strikes (holds) must be well-controlled.

Kick 'em in the ballz. Hard. Again.
