Sparring Ring Idea - Page 5

It came to my attention a little while ago that almost all martial art scenarios concentrate heavily on the 1 vs 1 scenario both in philosophy, physically and legally.
But, what if you are jumped by 2-8 guys, and what if they are armed?
If you lose, it could be very bad, if you win but hurt them, they could testify against you and you could get sued, stupid but true!

Circle sparring is a way to combine the effects of non-injury martial arts, multi-opponent combat and parkour.

1) Set up a large circle as the sparring field.
2) Spar within the circle, once you have the advantage run across the edge of the circle
3) After crossing the circle edge your opponent has 5 seconds to cross the edge as well, or you gain a point.
4) If he does cross before 5 seconds, neither of you gains a point and the round ends.
5) A running tab is kept of everyone's points, and recorded. The highest ranked is considered King.
6) If your opponent is injured in a session (past self-inflicted injuries such as twisted ankles, ect) you lose all points and start at 0.
7) Be respectful of your opponent's well-being.

To Be Determined:
-Additional Rules
-Multi-Opponent Systems
-Armed Opponent Simulation
-Circle Sizes

What does NPF think of this, and how can this be expanded?
