crazydee Posted June 1, 2002 Posted June 1, 2002 hmm, i think the best thing to do is watch an competition then. a national event or something, watch the finals. you'll get a good idea then.
Withers M.A.A. Posted June 2, 2002 Posted June 2, 2002 Make sure to set your techniques up. Start with lead leg roundhouse kick for example to the stomach as soon as your opponent blocks follow it up with a backfist to the face and a reverse punch to the body. One of the 3 techniques should score if done properly. 2nd Degree black belt in Kenpo Karate and Tae Kwon Do. 1997 NASKA competitor-2nd place Nationally in Blackbelt American Forms.

Jabroni Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 just remember your sparring for yours and their benefit guys. Assess the other guy's abilities as best you can. A lot of clubs seem to have problems with higher grades taking them to pieces. No-one wins there. It's a time to practice your techniques so try them all out, see what works best for you "I didn't lose!!! I just ran out of time to figure out how to beat him."(Thai-Kick-Jitsu, Blue Belt)
brickman Posted January 30, 2003 Posted January 30, 2003 hit them more than they hit you.... Also, at a tournament, know where the judges are and where the out of bounds is. If you position yourself well you dont necessarily have to land a technique to score.
Kung-Fu Hippy Posted March 12, 2003 Posted March 12, 2003 Relax your shoulder and don't make any face at all. Watch his/her eyes and as soo as they stop looking at yours go for them. Also have your quickest foot in front. You don't need power here so a shorter travelling distance will help.
theswarm Posted March 28, 2003 Posted March 28, 2003 when you are bowing in stare right through your opponent and pull a poker face when you are in the fight, don't ever rush in to attack - this rush says 'please front kick me in the stomach' I generally do point sparring by moving in, attack 1 - 2 -3 -4 techniques, move out of range - that being said I also mix up my agressive and defensive fighting styles with the attacker I deal with. In my last tournament the last guy I had to fight was being really overconfident because he'd beaten someone 2 belts above him, he was very agressive. I started off sort neutral - exchanging attacks with him then I went defensive to see his attack style. Then I went defensive again and started to score front kicks on him (picking up on a weakness of his), then instead of relying on front kicks as I would have expected him to adapt I adapted my own fighting to aggressive. Throwing fakes is alright but be careful not to concentrate on fakes too much - sometimes i find myself when I do fakes concentrating on them - as I don't normally think about my normal techniques but i have to think about fake techniques. All so fight laterally! don't just fight forward and backward, remember when your in a tournament you're in a circle/square not a narrow corridor. Use your space. Also short low stances work a charm. Remember also to use momentum - roundkick with a right leg comes perfectly after a reverse punch with a right arm.
