Ironberg Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 Yes! The shin block is a very useful tool to deflect leg attacks.

Jiyn Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 I really need to have experiance in shotokan kumite! Ive been to full contact kickboxing! But ive never been in a karate kumite fight! I need to become a yellow belt before i can fight in the ring! Im only a red belt, so nopt long before i can FIGHT! Karate is like an explosion, not like paint drying!

Red Triangle student Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 Jiyn, you really need patience. Just use the time you have to learn more.

Fish Posted June 29, 2004 Author Share Posted June 29, 2004 Thanks for the help, everyone. Actually, I don't know the shin blocks so I'll ask about that next lesson. I try to move about, but a problem I have with this guy is establishing a comfortable range. Too far back, and he likes to kick. To close in, and he goes for my legs trying to sweep. He's got the weight advantage, so I can't pull him down. Anyway, lots to learn!
