2.      No kicks or punches below the belt or the back.

3.      No hand techniques to the head (except red belt and higher or when otherwise specified by the instructor).

4.      No grabbing (except when specified by the instructor).

5.      All moves must exhibit good form. No careless swinging or blind techniques.

6.      Stay in your sparring area and do not hit walls, mirrors, or other people sparring.
