Two participants face off with a padded stick in hand while a referee watches closely for safety.

Each fighter uses quick strikes and blocks, tapping the padded stick against the opponent's stick or shield.

Footwork is used to circle, feint, and create openings without ever aiming for the head.

The referee calls a halt if contact becomes too forceful or unsafe, resetting the fighters to a ready stance.

A bout ends after an agreed number of clean touches or when the referee calls the match complete.
