sparred with a green belt

[karateka477]

last night at class i got to do some fake sparring with a green belt. 3 reassons why i loved it 1) hes 4 belts ahead of me so tough 2) he said i had a a pretty good roundhouse3) and it was just fun.

im a white belt so this was alittle nervous for me at first but the guy didnt do to like way over my head with it. well that about it about that we did alot of sparring kinda work lastnight

fake sparring?

what do you mean

[Sam]

i think he means 1 for 1 - as in no contact..... just dodging and going for targets.

[karateka477]

I prefer Kyokushin, I'm already used to getting my * kicked by 2nd-dans(I'm white belt by the way. )

[Sam]

Lol, full contact is always good to practice, but only if you're willing totake the bumps and bruises,

[italian_guy]

I agree that sparring with higher belt is a fun and challanging experience.

[Sam]

always get ot learn some thing - and usually get some good advice.... i love sparring my instructor.... [my only senior in most my classes] and love sparring the colour belt grades, just to see who i reckon is going to do well at tournaments.

It is a great practice to spar all different ranks, ages and sizes of people. I know I learn quite a bit when I fight someone new. Coming up in rank (through Kenpo) I had no idea of the explosive power of TKD fighters. So I began to train with some of them to learn the technique. I feel the more you know, the better you become.

adn the more you see - a lot of people judge other arts based no reputation. always find its better to try for yourself.
