General rules

Every match has its "rules" and you and your opponent should decide on those. This section treats, not so much specific action rules, but guidelines you should follow based on common sense and the traditions passed down by combative women.
There are probably some variations out there but the combative women we all consider our "role models" (people like Joan Wise, Beatrice Goffin and Judell Dulong) follow these "rules" in real life and have trained many many women to do the same.

• Be cordial and respectful at all times unless you're in a fantasy scene which has been agreed to beforehand.
• Do NOT punch, scratch, choke, gouge, bite, kick, or use any other move than could cause permanent injury or permanent marks.
• Always have at least one observer in the room with you during the contest.
• Stop fighting the moment the opponent submits!
• Stop the moment she says she's injured, whether you believe it or not.

   

• Stop the moment you have rolled off the contest surface (be it mat or anything else). Just break and go to the center to resume; a lost advantage is better than a broken bone.
• Do nothing that hasn't been agreed to.
• Do NOT under any circumstances permit observers to interfere unless there is a security problem. In that case, their interference should signal the end of the contest.
• Determine whether the observers are allowed to be vocal (cheering you on, etc.) If they are, set some limits: I personally don't want somebody else's guy calling me a "bitch" for instance while I'm wrestling. Make sure these guys understand what language is forbidden and, if they violate it, stop the contest right there and then.
• Never, and I mean NEVER, let the contest get "out of hand". A lot of guys seem to have this fantasy about a wrestling match turning into a fight. Let them go watch video tapes! If for some reason you want to change the rules, stop fighting and talk about it.
• If your opponent violates any of these rules, stop the contest and tell her you won't continue under those conditions. If she's persistent or unresponsive, leave. Period.

Venue

• You can do this in somebody's home or a motel or gym or anyplace where there's privacy and enough room.

  Contests should occur on mats because they're safer. But, if you don't have them and must wrestle on a floor, try to find a soft surface like a couple of mattresses put together. If you're on a rug make sure the material isn't scratchy. Remember, however, that the surface should dictate what you do. Don't throw someone down hard on a rug; you'll hurt her.

• If you think the action may get vocal or noisy, have some music playing to drown it out.
• Have a specific place where the observers can sit or stand...away from the action.

  Okay...that's in general. Now, let's go over the rules and caveats for each form of combat.
