True,hard to tell from watching with the sca .You pretty much have to be the one being hit to tell.
To save you a bit of reading(above link is great BTW).
1"above the knee and up(as in no lower legs) is a legal target,1" above the wrist(as in not the hand)is legal,every thing else is fair game.
Body and head shots = kill.
Limbs=lose of use of the limb.
Sca doesn't have a 2 limb kill ,you can loose a leg and an arm and still fight.
Force needed to kill varys a bit and tends to change from lighter to harder back to lighter with time(very wave like).The good range is almost always good enough but if you are on the weak side of good,a hard hitting group might not take your shots.So far,kinda the same as bel.
It doesn't take very much contact(shield,sword...) to take the force out of a shot,so you can block shots, but still be hit by them.Again you have to be there just because it hit you're shield doesn't mean it's not good.
Then comes blade edge.A flat shot doesn't count.Tipp shots and glancing don't count either.
Thrusting/stabbing gamewise are the same as a slash.
Face thrust only need to touch.(almost no force is needed,forcefull face thrust is not legal).
No grapppling.
No shield bashing to body parts.(But you can push on a shield or weapon).
Local areas may have other rules.
Be very sure you know "when you are engaged" for the place you fight.Almost no death from behind.
