In this division, the men and the do are the areas mainly aimed at.
Therefore, you need to pay special attention to protect these critically important areas.
Strikes on the men are valid here. A player cannot get a game-deciding point as long as
he strikes the defending arm or the legs. Abdominal areas as well as the chest or the
throat are important parts for earning points.
Players are allowed to try actions like a throw, kick or twist. These actions other
than knocking the opponent down are, however, not counted for points as they are
straightforward techniques. Players who are used to the kind of over-protected martial
art that forbids kicking may be hesitant about this. However, they are encouraged to
overcome the fear and try taking part in this division. A player is advised he not count
too much on kicking or throwing as a means of fighting against his opponent's sword
since the sword has the potential for killing by a single thrust.
