blackbelt061204 Posted August 30, 2005 Posted August 30, 2005 Can anyone give me some good tips on sparring drills? One thing I need to work on is to blitz. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Rateh Posted August 31, 2005 Posted August 31, 2005 if two people are sparring and both of them are not blitzingthen one thing that we do to get them to start moving, is to start them on the line, say go, and whoever hasnt hit the other in say 2 seconds, then they have to do pushupsafter a while u start blitzing, or uve done a lot of pushups Your present circumstances don't determine where you can go; they merely determine where you start. - Nido Qubein
blackbelt061204 Posted August 31, 2005 Author Posted August 31, 2005 that would work I guess. Is it just repetition? Is there some trick to blitzing?
Pacificshore Posted September 1, 2005 Posted September 1, 2005 Its about timing and distance with a lil trickery I suppose...but mainly timing and distance. Di'DaDeeeee!!!Mind of Mencia

Zaine Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 katas are good because it helps you with movement, and if you train with a heavy bag that can work on your strength.... Martial arts training is 30% classroom training, 70% solo training.https://www.instagram.com/nordic_karate/
Pogo Posted September 8, 2005 Posted September 8, 2005 I find hat if you do continuous sparing emty hand no pads. You will start to fake and you will learn how to move in and keep comeing.but this doesent always work.you always havethat partner who just runs away and ends up doing 50. Pogo
KarateKid6781 Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 i just slide on my feet, i dont lift my foot till i reach the target, took me awhile b4 i was able to do that =P
Aodhan Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 Footwork, footwork and more footwork.I spend at least an hour each week, working on switch steps, double steps forward and back, sidesteps each direction, and slide steps forward and back. I also work on "V in V out", zigzag stepping.Oh, and bounce the entire time on your toes. It helps with endurance, and with responsiveness, since it slows you down some to come from a flat footed stance.I also do laps around the dojang, running forward, back, side stepping and grapevine stepping.Aodhan There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other.-Douglas Everett, American hockey player
Menjo Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 i agree, however i thought shotokan sparing was taught flat footed for effective stances, and done properly flat-footed is supposedly more effective i heard from even a 7th Dan....at least in my dojo anyway and in Canada "Time is what we want most, but what we use worst"William Penn
