Light contact (continuous sparring)

Light contact is similar to semi contact but the referee will stop the fight only in the case of dangerous or irregular actions: otherwise the referee and two other judges will decide on a winner at the end of the match.

This decision is taken after considering the way each opponent was attacking and defending and, more importantly, the number of attacks that actually scored rather than being just blocked.

Light contact fighters normally keep a front guard where it's possible to use both arms more effectively, and where the actual number of kicks used is usually lower that of a semi contact fight.

The rules about controlling power of the techniques apply to light contact in the same way as to semi contact (points).

Full contact

Full contact looks very similar to light contact in terms of positions, techniques and strategies, but it doesn't have any limitation on the power that may used for the strikes.

Winning by KO is allowed only in full contact, while a technical decission is given by the  discipline of light continuous.
