right why the hell do u have to downgrade yourself to point scoring u are training to fight so go out there get in your stance ready to fight and bloody fight every person knows there own power to some point so go for it, if my instructor never went to hit me how the hell is he gonna teach me
dont think shoes will help that much just try getting the stance right rember if u have traction the feet shouldnt move no matter what keep ajusting the stance till it is right then your feet should,nt move
so which 1 u doing junino kata number1 number2 or number 3 its just a basic kata for beginners in shukokai karate let me know what u need to know for the kata
after u have conected with the kick remember to return the leg back towards the KNEE then u put your foot down into the stance u want keeping your balance in the mean time keeping traction with the foot that is on the floor
just remember no matter what training u have taken when it comes to sparring and your stood there face to face with your opponant all the training in the world can go out the window just take your time with them students dont rush them teach them thats all u can do teach them
imagine sitting on a horse sit low arch the back this is a wide stance with the presure on the legs pointing outwards and the feet pointing to 45 % (point the feet to one corner of the room and the other feet to the other corner)
