-<onlyinclude>====Invalid Contact====
+<onlyinclude>#REDIRECT [[V9: Striking Your Opponent]]
-Some examples of invalid contact are listed below. If you are unsure whether your opponent’s strike against you was valid, give them the benefit of the doubt and take it. If you have to think about it, take it. Only strikes which are clearly invalid should be treated as such, and in those cases it is common courtesy to announce the reason you believe it to be so.
-#'''Grazes:''' Contact that is neither percussive nor stop/deflect.
-#'''Draw Cuts:''' Attempted stabs which fail to strike with the tip but slide against a victim and barely deflect, if at all, instead of impacting cleanly.
-#'''Pushes:''' Weapons that are pushed into or slid against a victim after the initial motion was completely blocked by something else and the initial motion had stopped.
-#'''Light Contact:''' Attempted strikes that connect with so little forward momentum that an unaware opponent wearing only close-fitting clothing could not distinguish the strike as offensive rather than incidental contact.</onlyinclude>
