ramymensa Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 When sparring with a low rank, I try to motivate him, not to scare him. I was very afraid when started karate. They are not. They are relaxed and I don't want to ruin theit confidence right away, because I know how hard was for me to get pass the fear. I try to aply my techniques and guide them at the same time, allowing them even to aply something just to get the hang of it. I'm not there to win a cup, but to learn and help others learn. When sparring a high rank I just do my job, kick, punch, try my stuff and keep the ears open for some tips and information.
