2. A valid blow to your body is taken as a kill.
3. A valid blow to your arm disables that arm, including the hand on that arm.
4. A valid blow to your hand or wrist disables that hand.
   1. Your hand can be balled into a fist and used to parry with, as a rigid extension of your forearm.
   2. If both hands are disabled, you must yield in tournament single combat.
