Yes, that seems to be how it is. I have talked to a few people and some clubs are different.
Safety should always come first but I have to say that I am glad I didn't have the running restriction and of the new members I have seen under the same conditions, they always work to a level they are confident and only seem to get DQ'd for brainless moments like sweeps or making ready without bening told, etc. Never seen something bad happen as a result of them running.
I could foresee issues like breaking 180 running past target a step to far but that is stuff they will have to deal with when they first tackle stages with speed anyhow.
