question....... when did striking to the knee/shin foot come into play?
yet you are not permitted to sweep/clip/trip/hook....
ive had a couple of sticks to the knee and a cane slash from a low blow up the inner thigh... all is not very sporty lol... {words from me mum i hear in the background- {HARDN UP SON...}...lol
sports eskrima works well with upper body attacks with the cane and lower body with leg manipulation- not kicks tho- y... cause u can not see much below the waste with a cage on yer head...
feedback to explain required please- cha chairz |

Sorry i forgot to mention in my first post. 
That there is a meeting with the sports heads in the Phillipines soon to finalise the structure and this is just a draft as such.
Pat has put forward some suggestions,so hopefully this will just give everyone a heads up on what is expected of the rules & format.
Watch here for updates as we receive them |

Well this latest set of rules (they have changed a bit since last year, say's 1 minute rounds, which used to be 2 minute rounds, but it may revert back soon  We use the 2 minute round in the UK.
With this format all targets from the toe upward are allowed, as for the body protector, this is used for the kids and is the TKD body protector, but the adults are not allowed to wear any body protection except the women fighters who MUST wear a chest protector for obvious reasons.
For the qualifying bout's there are 2 rounds and the final is fought over 3 rounds, if there is a draw then sudden death (first to gain the clean shot) is played.
Also you will notice that gloves are allowed, again it was the kids (at the last world events) that wore the gloves, but the adults had no hand protection, so you had to make sure you moved your hand.
The official weapon of the WASA format it the padded stick hence there is no need for body armour, but saying that a rattan stick wrapped in Foam can and does hurt like hell.
There are no trips, footsweeps etc as the organisers want to see the full use of the weapon, as this is a sport that enphasises the use of the weapon I can understand this as some people who would have a lesser skill with the weapon may well used trips etc and ignore the weapon.
But the nature of this format means you will see a more long range fighting style from the competitors as when both go in close and start to trade, no one scores. It is all about getting the clean, powerfull shot, not as easy as you may think.
Hope that helps.

And if the hands and elbows are legitimate targets then why not the knees, just means you will have to make sure you keep your feet on the move as well as your arms

But then again you might get done under the code of contact clause
1. Code of Conduct
Honor, respect, brotherhood are expected from all participants, coaches, instructors, tournament officials/staff and spectators. Inappropriate behavior and language may result immediate sanction and or disqualification of match, tournament and or expulsion from event premises. You will be held responsible from your actions, representing your instructor, teammates, school and Organization.
there idea of inappropiate behaviour may be our appropiate behavior.
mmm i think we may starve now
Man im hungry now.
