TangSooGuy Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 umm, did you guys not even read my post or what? I agree with you jumping could be used to cover distance quickly...but perhaps not as fast as running. It seems much more logical to me that it would be to get over obstacles, such as things on the ground or perhaps even a kick or another attack aimed at your legs. Really wish people would pay attention.Sorry I didn't adress you directly, but that's because I pretty much agree with what you said. I think our posts are more directed toward the original question posed, than anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aefibird Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 We practice jump (and spinning kicks too) at my karate school, although not on a regular basis.Sensei always tells us that they're useful for covering distance quickly and to overcome obstacles. A little 'spring' into a technique can give it a bit more 'ooomph' too, sometimes.Oh, and we train in them because they impress the whitebelts too... "Was it really worth it?
