In Pointfighting,or Semicontact the fight gets interrupted after every successful hit and competitors move back to their starting position.
In a way it is similar to the Olympic fencing. During the short interruption, the three referees involved evaluate the previous action. Hits with the fist as well as kicks to the body score one point. Jumped kicks to the body and kicks to the head will score two points. A jumped kick to the head is the most sophisticated technique and will be rewarded with three points.
The winner is the competitor with the highest total score at the end of the fight.
Lightcontact is a hybrid of Fullcontact and Semicontact/Pointsfighting. In contrast to the score-and-break rhythm of the semicontact bouts the sparring is continuous without interference by the referee as long as no foul play takes place and penalties need to be awarded. In Lightcontact sparring demands a lot of technical skills and a high level of stamina. It differs from Fullcontact in the severity of the blows allowed. All attacks are to be executed with maximum control. Hard punches and kicks which could lead to knockout are not allowed.
Fullcontact allows all classical boxing techniques and any kick executed to the scoring area above the waist of ones opponent. The matches take place in a traditional boxing ring. All attacks con be delivered with full power (hence Fullcontact). Knock Outs (K.O.) and technical K.O.’s will result in the loss of the fight if achieved with legal techniques by ones opponent.
