Rich67 Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 What you're asking is virtually impossible to diagnose on a board like this. I can't tell how your talents are matched, what your technique is, etc. My advice would be for you to feint more, jabs,etc. in order to get him to move his hands. Avoid high kicks that he can grab. I had good luck with a jab up high (which brings the opponent's lead hand up to block), then going in fast with a reverse to the midsection (followed by a sweep or knee). If he has a good defense, then play the waiting game with him...wait till he attacks you, then look for openings, strike, move, and attack while he's off balance. Just keep practicing, and don't get discouraged. Mixed Martial Artist
Hoju Posted January 20, 2004 Posted January 20, 2004 One of the issues with constantly sparring the same person repeatedly is that they pick up on your tells, your openings and the like. Is it possible that there's something like that that he has picked up with you. I would suggest the most simplest thing, just change it up a lot - change sides a lot, shift differently between defense & offense and just try stuff that you don't normally do. See how well he adapts.
G95champ Posted January 20, 2004 Posted January 20, 2004 Sometimes people are just better than you not much you can do about it. (General George S. Patton Jr.) "It's the unconquerable soul of man, and not the nature of the weapon he uses, that ensures victory."
Practice is the key _ Posted January 20, 2004 Author Posted January 20, 2004 Rich67 by staying still he are bound to attack me with his specail technigh spinning wheel kicks and spinning back kick bubble top. I am going to kumite him todAY THANKS FOR YOUR ADVICE BY FAKING PUNCHS I'll try those but hes really wise and most sensei knows his a talented stretegise so...I'll make my self unpredictable.

shotochem Posted January 20, 2004 Posted January 20, 2004 If he keeps grabbing your leg, perhaps you are not snapping it back quick enough. Hes just waiting for you to throw that same kick. He will keep doing it until you change it up a little. You might try a sweep or a feint before trying to stick that kick. Just remember SNAP it back or it will be grabbed. Pain is only temporary, the memory of that pain lasts a lifetime.
Practice is the key _ Posted January 20, 2004 Author Posted January 20, 2004 Wow, perfect am doing it thanks I'll try that i'll do a snap kick then and if he really grab me i'll just punch him hard now he'll not be acting cocky.

SaiFightsMS Posted January 20, 2004 Posted January 20, 2004 If your kick is getting caught you are telegraphing or kicking to slowly. There is also the mental aspect. You need to learn to calm you mind when you spar.
Rich67 Posted January 21, 2004 Posted January 21, 2004 Exactly, and stop being ticked at him for flirting with your woman. She's with you, right??? If she was hanging with him, or she likes him, then kick her to the curb and don't worry about him. But like the other poster said, he might just be better than you. Oh well. You'll have to deal with that all your life. No matter how good you are, there will always be someone better or tougher. Just do the best you can, and don't get angry; learn from your mistakes and improve on your technique. Mixed Martial Artist
Hoju Posted January 21, 2004 Posted January 21, 2004 kick her to the curb and don't worry about him. Amen brother!
