Jay Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 when i do pushing hands (sparing standing in one place hands in contact) i seem to be a bit of a wimp i think im more worried abouit getting hit than concentrationg on what i am doing and therefore i always lose (this only occurs against certain people) is there anything i can do about this? whereas in kumite i feel relaxed and there is no queswtion whether i am going to get hit becuase i never do is it to do with the distance?any ideas The key to everything is continuity achieved by discipline.

Menjo Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 It maybe that you feel your not in control of your own area where is in sparring it is pretty much up to you.

Drgnslyer Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Most likely because it's a new experience, and/or you're just not comfortable with it. as with anything you need to find out exactly what it is that bugs you about it and throws you off your game, and adress the issue.Has your routine changed at all before one of your pushing hands matches as opposed to a regular sparring match? Get yourself grounded mentally, keep yourself relaxed, and remember to just keep things simple..the more complicated you make it in your own mine, the harder it will be for you. Think before you act, but act before it's too late.http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/3535/siggydemo58lq.jpg(Images aren't allowed, but if you want, take a peek for yourself ^ ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
