Topic Posted October 20, 2003 Posted October 20, 2003 Whod do you think is youre worst enemy? Tall, short, unexperienced fighters etc? For me, it has to be mostly the unexperienced fighters. reasons: They just charge at you without thinking twice and start throwing punches that mess up youre movements and rhythm. They also arent disciplined which leads to going crazy and just swinging at you. A disciplined fighter will most likely charge at you in a controlled manner and throw a kick or punch and then back out which is much easier, and there is a controlled rhythm with a controlled fighter. What is your worst enemy?

iolair Posted October 22, 2003 Posted October 22, 2003 I'm a good distance fighter (strong kicks, long punches), and can keep most people at a distance. People that come to close range quickly are the ones I need to look out for...[/u] Currently: Kickboxing and variants.Previously: Karate (Seido, Shotokan, Seidokan), Ju Jitsu, Judo, Aikido, Fencing.
Drunken Monkey Posted October 22, 2003 Posted October 22, 2003 personally i have trouble with boxers. the sheer speed of their jabs really puts me off. i had a session with a boxer on campus and he just jabbed to keep me out of my "comfortable" range. every time i tried to close in, another jab pops up. post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
Topic Posted October 23, 2003 Author Posted October 23, 2003 Drunken Monkey, if youre having trouble going in then you automatically have to thisnk of a different plan which mean, fake first then jump in there with a kick or whatever u want to use. Getting beat is the best thing for me because it makes me go home and just think of what i could have dont not to ge tbeat which makes you better. Also, start kicking to his body or lower half of the body first, when he gets the routine that every kick is going to the body thats when u go for the head and make that knock out move. There is numerous things that u can do differently, just keep thinking about new excape plans. Hope i helped.
chrismann Posted October 24, 2003 Posted October 24, 2003 If your worst emeny is an untrained fighter, then why (assuming you are) are you bothering to train in MA, since you obviously feel that MAists are easier opponents?!
Topic Posted October 25, 2003 Author Posted October 25, 2003 Dont know, im not exactly a specialist, ive been training for 3 years and yes i am good but i still wouldnt have 100% controlly over a real situation, ya kno
Guest Posted October 25, 2003 Posted October 25, 2003 Not to sound rude, but how is it that inexperienced fighters pose any challenge at all to a trained fighter? I understand the unpredictable nature of these people, but I have never felt it to be any type of challenge. You are trained not to charge the opponent, or swing wildly for a reason, IT MAKES YOU VULNERABLE.
hajime Posted October 25, 2003 Posted October 25, 2003 a skilled fighter in any art is going to be a challenge. An unexperienced figher I would rather fight anyday. because they will telegraph their moves, they have not been taught properly how to strike and probably how to take a blow. Kick them in the knees/groin. Remember to move about yourself. Never ever get too stationary. you sound inexperienced yourself. anyone going crazy and swinging/ charging is only going to intimidate a beginner. Get practising and you will feel better I 'fear' the unknown - i.e someone you don't know what they will do or are capable of. Whether they have a hidden weapon / mates ready to back them up etc. 700 hours of official training. Injury finished me dammit!1st Kyu Wado Ryu
