Hello Bill,

Thank you for your comment. I guess I'm from the old school. I still think of the "Ref" as the director. It is what I grew up with.

Also we do discuss the flick, and it does still happen, of course it has to be a solid hit. But the point we were discussing is attacking with a bent arm and how right-of-way is called when attacking with your feet, or with a threatening point.

I like the topic that you suggested about covering target with the mask by bending down while attacking. Thanks!
