stl_karateka Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 I sweat alot, wonder if these face sheild style mask would fog up? Supposedly they are designed not to...some special kind of plastic coating and the holes strategically placed.....whatever, I should get mine thursday so how about I tell you thursday night? Of course if we don't spar I won't know until Saturday afternoon...either way I'll give you my first hand report as soon as I can.

I am drenched in sweat after a half hour of non stop sparring. Antifog items such as ski goggles etc in the past have fogged on me so wonder about this. 43 Years oldBlue Belt (7th Kyu) Shorin-ryuRoberts Karate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stl_karateka Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 half hour of non-stop sparring?????? I must be reading that wrong....you mean the class is 1/2 hour right? How long are your matches? We go for an hour doing 2-minute matches. We only run 2 rings at a time so there are small breaks in between, but I work up a good sweat by the time its all over with! Sano - I'm not sure who you are addressing, but we get to kick to the head. KarateForums.com Sempai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aes Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 half hour of non-stop sparring?????? I must be reading that wrong....you mean the class is 1/2 hour right? How long are your matches? Well usually there are more breaks and saying we went at it for 1/2 an hour steady was an overstatement. There was several minutes of warm up and some short breaks to switch parteners but since there were only 4 people in the last class there were no real breaks. At my belt level no real head contact is allowed accept in tourneys. 43 Years oldBlue Belt (7th Kyu) Shorin-ryuRoberts Karate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reklats Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 I've been in a few MATCHES with people that I'm equal to that've gone ~20 minutes until someone tapped. I need like 10 minutes to recover afterwards though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueDragon1981 Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 It was an okay show but it wasn't what I expected. Kind of cool to see how all the muscles worked while they did the techniques. Oh and to see how hard they actually kicked. They kicked with more force than heavy weight boxers hit with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
