Stick Fighting Rules

[Andrew Green]

How do sparring rules work in Arnis circles? I am assuming point based? continuous? Break on hit? Target areas? protection? Do kids usually get to spar?

What's the deal?

I like the "no rules" formality of DBMA =)

I've seen 2 types: Continuous, and "Stop and Go"

I'm not familiar with the continuous rules.
With the stop and go, you basically go until a point is scored, then reset and continue. Point values of targets, and time limits vary by organizatioon and event.

Please forgive me if I am wrong on this,
But as far as I know,"continuous" is a timed round of say,1-2 minutes,give it all you got for each round and the points are tallied at the end of the fight.
No "stop and reset".

That is my very limited understanding as well.

Any mixing of weapons? Knife vs stick, double stick vs single, staff vs sticks?

In training if not competition?

 

[Bob Hubbard]

Depends on the school. Mine does them all.

Are there specific rules covering things?
