The point is the fight against the real difference in the fight against that, as soon as someone lands a strike, to stop fighting and start again. There is less chance of injury and these are less aggressive and competitive spirit and full contact touaments. In a competitive weapon to do a routine with his weapon of choice and have a deadline to complete the routine.
