SBN Doug Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 The schools that do spar in my art ususally don't allow it before yellow belt. That would be between 6 and 9 months. Kuk Sool Won - 4th danEvil triumphs when good men do nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bon Posted March 23, 2002 Share Posted March 23, 2002 I was wasking my kickboxing instructor if I could go in tournies after a few months.. He said he would, but never did. He then told me at the start of the year, he'd put me in at the end of the year. That would have been 2 years training for me, 'cept I quit that dojo. I recently started BJJ, seems like there's no time limit before you go in tournies. I guess it depends on your instructor and dojo, as well as being *able* to fight. _________________ It takes sacrifice to be the best. There are always two choices, two paths to take. One is easy.

dreamer38f Posted March 24, 2002 Share Posted March 24, 2002 We purchase sparring gear at the yellow/green stripe level(9ish months), then the Grand master wishes you to have 5-6 tourneys by Black Belt level. If you think you can't, then you must. If you must, you will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonkeyNinja Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 Sparring in my school starts at white belt. It toughens up the students. But they only spar against the same belts for now. As far as compitions goes. I think they should be able to compete after a couple of months. Since their are so many differnt catagories, and age/weight groups.
