BlackBeauty Posted January 13, 2003 Posted January 13, 2003 * being short, i have a habit of running into my sparring partner's attacks * fighting in a linear fashion * having my back foot on an angle, rather than toe pointing forward * not keeping my lead hand up * not keeping a square stance to my opponent - i often find myself turned side on to my sparring partner * not keeping my stance 'solid' in terms of isometric tension i'm pretty new to muay thai so my main problem is not knowing any combinations. i know a few but haven't yet worked out when's the best time to use them! ==================http://come.to/BlackBeauty==================
jiu-jitsu fighter Posted January 14, 2003 Posted January 14, 2003 i drop my hands too much and my footwork needs work , and i need to learn how to deal with insane kickers "When we go to the ground,you are in my world, the ground is the ocean, I am the shark,and most people don't even know how to swim"
jiu-jitsu fighter Posted January 14, 2003 Posted January 14, 2003 but its also good to be a well rounded fighter punching/clinch/ground good luck everyone on getting rid of your faults "When we go to the ground,you are in my world, the ground is the ocean, I am the shark,and most people don't even know how to swim"
magikchiongson Posted January 15, 2003 Posted January 15, 2003 I was never into the tournament sparring type, but Sifu used to force me to spar against the people our school was sending to compete. I took the time to try out some concepts I picked up from other Martial Arts on these unsuspecting students, hehe. I mess with the other students, if its a tall guy, I wait for that kick and then boom lower my stance and come right in. Throw some punches and then go behind them. They say I make mistakes like, always fighting on one stance, never putting my hands up. I can tell you what common mistakes other people make. They try this airial stuff, spinning punches, and kicks. I'm not allowed to sweep them, but as soon as they land just start smacking the crap outta them. I don't do that anymore though, it gives you too many bad habits. I own you.
brickman Posted January 16, 2003 Posted January 16, 2003 footwork...telegraphing....squaring to the opponent too soon...sticking my butt out when I am tired. LOL

GlowstarEP Posted February 20, 2003 Posted February 20, 2003 If your Kata and Basics are good, your sparring should also be good. I disagree with this comment i am ranked for form and when i competed in basics as a white belt i placed 2nd by a hundreth of a point in a group of 14. But yet i am terrible at sparring.
WhiteBelt Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 This thread made me realize I'm going to miss sparring this Tuesday, to help my GF with an essay outline. Damn university work... I am only a yellow belt, but I get to spar with everybody at the school. I see a lot of people fighting far too linearly. I've sidestepped a few blue belts already. The one mistake I hate most of all, lack of control. I'm still nursing my chest from a sidekick three weeks ago. The way I see it, it was both his mistake and mine. The guy kicks like a horse. A lot of the beginners love to get all tangled up, and just stand there trading blows. When you're trying to pull your punches that doesn't hurt, but in the street or a competition? Heh
BKJ1216 Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 I can't wait till may to start sparring. I know i'm gonna get beat up a lot, but I think sparring with higher ranking people will help me. White Belt- Shudokan Karate
