Pre-match briefing is mandatory meeting must be attended by all coaches and contestants before tournament, very important to socialize the tournament rules used by the organizer.
There are so many martial art tournament organizers nowadays. Those organizers created their own rules based on their own personal taste and style, that why pre-match briefing is important. For examples:
- Some Taekwondo organizers permit all basic punches and kicks, other organizers only permit kicks.
- Some Kickboxing organizers permit kicks to leg area, other organizers only permit kicks above hip area.
- Some Tui Shou organizers permit all basic throws, other organizers only permit pushing the opponent body with palm techniques.
- Some Boxing organizers permit all basic punches, other organizer only permit Backfist/Flicker Jab swung upward (aimed to lower chin like Uppercut target).
- Some Karate organizers permit all basic punches, other organizers only permit Jab and Cross punches.
Dizzy? Me too.
Although there are so many tournament organizers with different personal taste, at least all good martial art tournament organizers are agree with 1 thing: Ban all fatal pressure point strikes (like finger stab, neck chop or groin kick) for safety.
