CsrCrz88 Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 i like sparring. you should do double kicks to fake them out. It different then the dojo, they call hits mad quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiler Posted November 7, 2003 Author Share Posted November 7, 2003 the sparring made me very nervous as i had to take off my glasses and i cant see far with out them. So when we were sparring i could see her hands but i mange to block a few punchs. i olny did one kick as i couldnt see her when she moved back but as i couldnt see her hands she beat me. The katas i had to do were the khion kata and the heian shodan im pretty good at these ones so the event wasnt that bad once it started . I was hoping to get doing the heian neidan but you can olny do up to your belt level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stl_karateka Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 Was this an invite only / closed tourny? Reason I ask is that whole thing about being able to perform your belt level --- I only came across that in closed tournaments If you are going to keep doing tournaments, you may want to invest in sport glasses. Some people can spar in contacts but I don't like to - its a preference thing. Or, depending on how near-sighted you are -- take you glasses off about 15/20 minutes before you fight and let your eyes start to adjust --- this is what I do, and I have gotten used to fighting without them Good job though!

If you are in a school where sparring is required or want to do mor tournament activities you should see about getting sport goggles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
