7 A technique which is stopped by the opponents body / head instead of the attackers control of the
technique is an example of c1. A technique which causes the head to move due to contact is an
example for c1.
Techniques that cause bleeding (but not due to re-opening of an existing wound) must be evaluated
by the MR and SRs to determine if it a penalty per c1 (Forbidden Act) or e1 (Heavy Forbidden
Act) based on the situation.
Techniques (excluding straight techniques) to the head that merely touch or are within 10cm are
valid scoring techniques. Contact to the body is considered "skin-touch" contact. Otherwise, it
may be construed as hard contact per c1.
Other criterion for c1 that needs to be looked at is if hard contact occurred because the opponent
moved into the technique. In this case, there was no intent by the attacker to induce hard contact,
and may be even a penalty of Mubobi to the opponent, if there is precedence of failure to protect
one's self or reckless behavior.
8 Thwrowing from the main competition area (not in the warning area) to the safety area is not a
forbidden act. Throwing from the main contest area (not in the warning area) outside the safety
area is a forbidden act.
9 It is not a forbitten act to throw the opponent from the fighting area into the safety area
