- You must not hit other fighters too hard.
- You must follow the instructions of the marshals on the field whenever they tell you do do something.
- You must not lose your temper.
- If something unsafe happens, the marshal will call "HOLD" and you should stop immediately, and wait for the marshal to say that you can start again.
- You must not take unfair advantage if the other fighter is worried about safety, or is being chivalrous.
- You must not deliberately hit a fighter who has dropped their weapon, or fallen over, or is unable to defend themselves
- If you deliberately try to get an unfair advantage by becoming helpless (for example, by falling down or losing your weapon) the marshals will give you a warning. If you do it again, you will lose the fight and have to leave the field.
- You aren't allowed to grab, trip, throw, punch, kick, or wrestle with the other fighters.
- You aren't allowed to deliberately hit the other fighter with your shield. It might happen by accident.
- You aren't allowed to grab the other fighter, their shield or their weapon.
- Target Areas
- You are allowed to hit people in the same places as for adult armoured combat, except you aren't allowed to thrust at the face in Division 1
- If you get hit in the throat or groin, you should take it as being good, but you shouldn't try to hit the other fighter there.
