The only time it should stop is if the victim genuinely escapes. The role of the attacker is not to 'roll over' when the victims fingers touch the head guard, you are just installing a false sense of confidence here. The scenario should be as realistic as possible because that is what sparring is all about, practising under pressure and there should never be a winner in sparring, even if one person comes off slightly better.
By adding grappling skills and escapes to any training like this you are really giving valuable skills. To these people I say this; 'Go and learn some grappling before lecturing others'. There are endless techniques that are simple yet effective and can make a difference, you might not know them but there are! Now onto the group training scenario where we see everyone wearing padded suits. Whilst I hate to see this it can also be effective when trained correctly. By correct I mean using as much power as the suits allow varying quality exists in the market now.
See a Problem?
When you have padded suits this is the time to go the extra mile and 'dig in', I recall training in these type of suits with some tough lads and we were slamming each other into walls, using full force elbows and kicks etc. It was a lot of fun but it needs to be real! This leads to poor teaching and then false confidence.
My general rule of thumb is this, train as if every self defence situation could see you seriously injured or worse and you should expect to be seriously injured or worse so you will fight hard!
This is key, it is not about teaching people 'do this and you will escape' it is about crafting a desire and belief that they will give this attacker the fight of their lives! You will not give in easily and it is your job as an instructor to teach them the most effective techniques possible! OK let's clear this up too. Fish hooking and eye gouges have long been a tactic of old school fighting but as part of a more complex fighting style. The aim of these techniques is to cause serious injury, therefore when you do use them you must have the circumstances to back up their use.
Most criminals have grown up around violence, they are experienced in what they do, have committed multiple offences and often grown up in the worst conditions life has to offer. Along side this we also know that most rapes are committed by people known to the victim! With this in mind why are so many instructors training to face the lowest danger standard of attacker! You should be training to face an experienced attacker, who is fitter and stronger than you and has more fighting skill, all whilst being enhanced via drink and drugs that make them immune to pain, oh and add in some metal health issues to boot Simple eh!

Self-defense
This book is not yet featured on Listopia. Apr 30, Ryan Coons rated it it was ok. Much of the book is devoted to macho posturing. While the author makes some interesting points, the fact that the author openly and unashamedly brags about training with Count Dante makes everything he says and does highly suspect. Feb 08, Jake rated it liked it Shelves: The Truth About Self Protection is, in some circles, regarded as a seminal work on personal safety.
At the same time, I confess to being hesitant to recommend it to the layperson seeking advice on self defense for the first time. While there are a lot of good things in this book, there are a couple of flaws that really hurt its utility for the modern audience. Let me start with the good.
Problem 1.Too Much Theory Backed By Play Fights
The Truth About Self Protection is an incredibly comprehensive work on the subject of self-defense. With close to fifty chapters and nearly pages, Ayoob touches upon aspects of personal safety that most writers and instructors never even consider. In addition to material about unarmed combat, improvised weapons, legal weapons like kubotans and defensive sprays and firearms, Ayoob touches upon far less often considered subjects like locks for your home, electronic alarm systems, and even choosing a dog for protection.
At every stage, Ayoob offers relatively comprehensive advice in a clear and easily understand format.
The Truth About Self Protection by Massad Ayoob
He is careful to address not only the realties of each piece of security equipment, but also the legal, moral, and ethical considerations behind them. The book is written in a very conversational style that makes the material very accessible; reading this book feels like sitting down and having a conversation with an old cop complete with some slightly politically incorrect language, though nothing truly offensive.
