47MartialMan Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 Is it the "philosphy" of the instructor/school, to not spar until a "specific time"?
cfr Posted October 11, 2004 Author Posted October 11, 2004 Is it the "philosphy" of the instructor/school, to not spar until a "specific time"? Yup. And although I've never done it, I cant say I really agree with it.
47MartialMan Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 Is it insurance reasons, per making such philosophy? Is the instructor in fear of law suits? Or perhaps, he wants to make sure someone gets enough experience before sparring

47MartialMan Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 Well in one hand, it can be that basics, or training, has to be continuous. Like to its proper execution or perfection. Until such is reached, sparring would be almost pointless, lacking proper "form". In anaolgy, one cannot paint a scene, without learning about the differant pastels, brush, tools, and techniques. On the other hand, sparring early, increase certain abilities and make them become intrinsic. While continuing proper "form", both are simo accomplished. In anaolgy, if one is to practice, eye-hand cordination, then a brush should be in hand and let the paint flow. Then discovery and things are "seen" differently.
markusan Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 how do you get experience withouut doing it? And the other bit about pull a punch in sparring and you'll pull it in a real fight???? That implies that any one person can only ever fight at one intensity. That's not the world I live in.
47MartialMan Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 markusan, how do you get experience withouut doing it? Which is why I stated the second; On the other hand, sparring early, increase certain abilities and make them become intrinsic. While continuing proper "form", both are simo accomplished. I have studied one art, with the same philosophy of not sparring until "time". Fundamentals had to be detailed and "routinely drilled" beforehand. Although, I may slightly disagree with it, in relation to sparring, I can understand reasons behind it.
longarm25 Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 pull in practice you pull it in a fight Myth. (But Polly wants a cracker) are you willing to bet your life on that. all it takes is a split second of hesitation and it can be a the diff Im not saying Dont spar I just trying to get people to be aware that point fight can lead to bad habits. Fist , redman ,blaure make decent gear(though Expenseive) that allows you to train full contact w/ less risk of injury.
