Protect thy crotch!
Thorsteinn:
#1) Protect thy crotch!
#2) Do not deflect shots into thy crotch.
Don Jorge:
Honestly...that thrusting was dangerous. My kingdom and my group for fighter practice try to never thrust...it just has too much potential to go wrong!

So you promote bad technique?
Don Jorge:
Not utilizing a technique isn't promoting bad technique...if we were to say, "dont practice and use it in a tournament" then it would be another issue. In general I have been taught to not try thrusting...especially not when on your knees and eventually you are going to hit someone in the crotch.
Sir Edward:
It depends a lot on the group. The crotch is a real target, in terms of the martial arts, so it's a question on whether the group is considering it a valid target (with people wearing their cups) or not. Sometimes a thrust for the abdomen or thighs lands wrong too.
Having said that, I have no idea what the SCA standards are for this.
