Is contact sparring (fighting) required?
NO! Absolutely no contact is allowed. In fact we do not practise free sparring, but do use a form of touch tag to practise timing and distancing. We focus on real world situations (one step fighting and self-defence). In these we touch, hold arms, wrists and hands etc; but not in any way to cause injury, bruising or pain. We also practise bag work for both punching and kicking. This allows you to hit without hurting yourself or anyone else.
