strangepair03 Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 I was suprised at the feel of my kata when done with shoes on. It really changes how you preform certain stance transitions..like in chinto kata. I found it rough at first, but after a few times it helped with balance and correct posture quite a bit when barefoot. A punch should stay like a treasure in the sleeve. It should not be used indiscrimately.Kyan Chotoku Sensei Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyj Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 training in street clothes is essential. It makes alot of people realize that in a real situation they would not survive due to restrictions. Females do not realize what a hazard alot of their clothing is, and that a smart attacker looks at this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjanurse Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 While my current school does not allow training in street clothes I hold a special traiing class for students preparing for Black Belt exams that takes place out doors so we wear sweats and tennis shoes. I think it is important to train in jeans too-especially spar.

aefibird Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 We train every week in street clothes. My sensei holds a 'fight club' where we work on self-defence and street style encounters. We also have full-contact sparring sessions on this night too.Training in ordinary clothes and shoes can feel wierd if you're not used to it. However, I think that it is essential for everyone to have some experience of training in street clothes. Techniques that feel great when you're wearing a gi or a uniform can be totally different if you've got a pair of jeans and a sweater on. It's important to train in shoes too. It's fairly likely that in any street/SD encounter a person could find themselves in they will be wearing some kind of footwear. "Was it really worth it? Only time and death may ever tell..."

PhDPeddler Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 I really can't remember what training with out shoes on feels like. It's been almost 7 to 8 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkerlineage Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 We actually don't in the studio where I train, but in a year when I open my own doojo at college, I will do this at least once or twice a month.However, the clothes I wear don't seem to inhibit me. But I loathe jeans and any other tight clothing...so it's like wearing a gi all the time.Peace;Parkerlineage American Kenpo Karate- First Degree Black Belt"He who hesitates, meditates in a horizontal position."Ed Parker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenpo4life Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 At least 3 times a week. It is a real difference if you have never done it. If my survival means your total destruction, then so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
