shotochem Posted March 21, 2002 Author Share Posted March 21, 2002 Fight taller opponents!!! :brow: Wear a cup accidents do happen, when people get tired they dont kick as high, no one would intentionally kick you there in the dojo.

kicker Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 well you are not the only. I too hold back some of my power while sparring and just being agressive getting punches and kicks in and good punches and kicks. But If i need to attack I could but I don't really do. But you could try to spar like you have something against them or you like them but in the ring their your enemy!!! when you do your best it`s going to show.

ad Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 i somtimes i have this problem of going to easy on people, just not going as hard as how i should do, i somtimes get blamed for going too hard , when i am actaully going easy, cuz alot of people drop their guard constantly, like you would never beleive, so i tap them in the head, and the instructors are like "dont go too hard" , cuz no matter how light, a kick to the head always look brutal however in terms of the other peolple in the group, heck they fight like seikos, like that one guy i just told u about ages ago, who is got his 1st degree now, jus cuz i am the same heigt of him, regardless of the belt, he kicks my head in proper, i hate those type of people, jus because their such good fighters, they feel they can treat their opponents like ****, and try experimental moves on us dont go too easy if they go hard on you, go harder at them back peace Brown Sash Hsing I/Lau Gar Kung FuBrown Belt San Shou17 yr oldhttp://www.selfdefencehelp.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bon Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 invulnerable ? Kick the phat guy in the gut! It takes sacrifice to be the best.There are always two choices, two paths to take. One is easy. And its only reward is that it's easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuayTB1 Posted March 24, 2002 Share Posted March 24, 2002 I posted before saying i always just tease people and let them try to hit me. I never got hit but this time i got wacked real hard. So everytime i spar now i alway take them down before they can take me down. not always a hard take down thou. "Don't think!!

Joecooke007 Posted March 24, 2002 Share Posted March 24, 2002 I have only one short tip. Don't be nice. The ohter person is trying to hit you. Don't even let them get close. Boards don't hit back. -Bruce Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shotochem Posted March 29, 2002 Author Share Posted March 29, 2002 Hey Guys, I think Im cured!! All it took was an opponent that attacked me like a tazmanian devil ( a whirling mass of arms and legs). After that little lesson Ive gotten a wee bit more agressive and coincidentally a lot more effective. I just started to relax and it created opportunities instead me waiting for them. I just stopped looking for the perfect shot and just attacked. I guess you learn somthing new everyday! Pain is only temporary, the memory of that pain lasts a lifetime.

karatekid1975 Posted March 29, 2002 Share Posted March 29, 2002 Hiya. I agree with Kickchick. I didn't like sparring at first because I didn't (still don't) like to be kicked in the head. I can take body shots all day, but not head shots. But I got used to telling my fellow students, "No head shots, please." They usually agree. Really early on, I was affraid to get hit anywhere, but I just got in there and tried not to think about it. I kept my mind on BLOCKING lol. I still got hit, but I got used to it after a while. As far as control goes, no I wasn't confident with my control at first. But I practiced at it. Now that I'm doin TKD, control is out the window lol. So you're not the only one Laurie F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
