Theory


What is Free Sparring
Free sparring is basically putting what has been learnt so far into practice, with no prewarning of attack. Therefore, not as many defending techniques can be practised as in the other forms of sparring. Free sparring can be practised with no pads and should be strickly non-contact. Semi contact sparring is allowed only when adequate supervision (i.e. safety boots and gloves are worn). This type of sparring must only be carried out under strict supervision of a qualified instructor.
