Mr. Hall Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 Point fighting involves finding targets and engaging them with control. Some will argue that this type of fighting requires more planning, technique, skill than full contact fighting. If you are the tournament host depending on what you believe is how the tournament will be run.

CPU Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 their are advantages to both, pointfighting allows you to develope control, while full contact allows you to develope your power. In an actual street fight your going to need both. Sparring - loved by many perfected by few Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are the tournament host depending on what you believe is how the tournament will be run. you could also say chess requires more planning and skill but chess dosent advertise as teaching you how to fight. nothing wrong with point sparring or chess as long as you realize what you are doing.
