If you don't learn defense and movement you will quickly find the answer to that question when you get in the ring.

If your mother is reading this than 'No absolutely not'. If not than yeah you are going to get punched in the face.

absolutely not.. keep your hands down at all times during sparring..

no but seriously ofcourse theyre allowed where else are you gonna hit somebody? going to the body is more dangerous than going to the head, i feel. one of my trainers got hit in the gut and his bowel ruptured or some shit, atleast to the head you just get ko'd
