Last Saturday (2 days ago), In The 4th Annual "Lone Star" Championship January 24-26 in Houston, Tx, I was helping to judge WC sticky hands (or WC sparring) the 1st time in my life. When the chief judge announced the rules that
- It's not a competition. Ego attitude is not allowed.
- Only straight punches are allowed. Uppercut and hook (or haymaker) are not allowed.
- Every strikes "should not" touch on any part of your opponent's body.
- Both arms should remain contact with your opponent's arms. You can't dis-connect it.
- No kicks are allowed.
- You should always stand in WC stance and should not stand in forward backward stance.
I then realized that the WC sticky hand training (not sure I should call it WC sparring) is far from "full contact".
