Comments on Sparring,
One competitor was nearly always only defending and seemed to almost never take
the aggressive position. The other competitor was relatively predictable after
the first few attacks. Almost all attacks were round house kick followed by
reverse punch and sometimes two punches. Its always difficult to judge without
knowing the point criteria. The one defending constantly didn't seem to know how
to take advantage of predictable moves, didn't use her own kicks to any
advantage and never moved to the outside of the constant left round house kick.
They both appeared to be to limited in the techniques they were willing to use.

I have to assume that the rules limit the competitors to no foot sweeps and no
take downs. Points were likely only given for a head or abdominal punch or kick.
Its hard to evaluate without knowing the rules or the experience level of the
competitors.

2-cents,
Rob
