Hi guys im just wondering how long it took you all.to reach first Dan? And is it true that its only the beginning when you do? Thanks

Brilliant thankyou very much. Appreciate all your help. I feel better about it now

Osu haha. Thanks mate appreciate it

Just very windy atm. Had a little snow but it never settled, so will it get easier as i progress? Cheers m8

Hmm im not sure. Its very light controlled contact. Im not too sure it is very basic at the moment. I dont think it is free sparting

Thanks it all feels alien at the moment. I just wish i could spar without flinching. How long roughly do you think it will take? It wont be over night but will i notice quickly do u think? Thanks again

Hi guys. Ive recently become 7th kyu in wado and started sparring this week. My question is. When i tried it against a 3rd dan i was flinchy and nervous as i am in everyday things. I have hardly and confidence. Will this pass? Or will it continue. Id love to know how to snap out of it. Thanks

Do you think i will always flinch during sparring or is it possible to overcome this?

Very good topic. I have just turned 7th kyu in wado and started sparrimg this week and i was very nervy. Flinching at every attack and backing off. It was anoying because as you said it made me look weak. My question is. Will i grow out of flinching etc and how long could it take, thanks for ur time. Great forum
