Covering an opponent adequately is extremely important

Unlike in the past where combat was of a high level, the standard of sparring today is quite low. Hence, if you do not hand your defeat to your opponent, he is unlikely to defeat you. In other words, if you cover yourselves adequately to ensure safety first, not many martial artists today have the knowledge and skills to create combat situations whereby they can beat you despite your knowing how to defend against these attacks. This video series shows some examples where participants hand their defeat to their opponents. You should avoid this -- even when your opponents may not know how to exploit your set-backs.
