Sai, now all you have to do is teach the furry
little one how to spar...
My cat prefers to tangle with my belt(I have to remember to keep it in my bag)

Shadow loves to "help" me tie my belt. Sometimes when I am stretching she lays down on the floor beside me.
She has fast little paws. When she is mad at someone she pounces on their foot and swats them. She has a double, a triple, and now a quadruple swat.

I agree that head shots are necessary, just in a controlled environment. Like was said before, it's a good "wake me up" that you didn't keep your guard up. I try a steer away from straight on the nose ones, though.
And yes, we require head gear and mouthpieces as well.
That said, who here allows strikes to the back and back of the head? I don't know of ANY tourneyment, short of UFC, that allows it. However, a lot of our striking techniques are aimed at pressure points and weaknesses in back of the opponent. I don't like having to pull my attack completely when I realize I was instinctively going for an open spot from behind.

Back of the head shots are a big no no at my school. Shots to the back - well it is not an acceptable target area but when people turn to avoid roundhouse kicks they sometimes turn in such a way as to catch them with their back. Actually I have seen many people turn a bit to avoid a roundhouse kick and wind up taking them to the tushie.

yeah it's all right apart from if you do excessive contact or draw blood you'll get a warning or point deducted |

Well, like someone else said, just dont draw blood and it should be ok. So dont smash their nose into their brain. as for the other part, hands always up. move your head constantly so its not a big stationary target. avoid moving straight back. circle around. fake one direction and dash to another. |

I my self don't like the sportier types of karate, so go ahead, punch them in the face. Of course the sportier types a nice to watch, but I like to practice the ancient types. |

Most Have answered your first question, so as far as your second. It does depend on if your point sparring or kickboxing. I just say stay moving and keep atleast one hand face high. As far as the other hand, use it for blocking sidekicks, frontkicks etc..... But keep it close enough to your head so it can help out. |
