r u better at patterns or sparring?


Recommended Posts

Currently I am pretty decent at both, but I am definitely slightly better at forms. There is a precision in forms that appeals to me innately, and I enjoy "showing off" when I do my poomse.

SPARRING, we train mostly sparring, patterns are nice and I'll finish top 3 in tourneys, I finsh 1st in sparring most of the time. My instructor finds patterns boring but we do them nonetheless.

I use my patterns to get all the butterflys out, before sparring, it works too.

I can fumble through kata better than I can get beat-up.

-No offence - What’s the meaning of training in martial arts if you don't want to get some beatin' ???

I was going to say forms. I place in forms every time I compete ..... sheesh, shouldn't jinx myself, I'm competing this weekend ... Anyways, I just tested for 1st gup/kyu, and I did pretty well in the sparring portion. So we'll see what happens at this tourny.
