MenteReligieuse Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Why flee from in close fighting range? Embrace it . And kicks are still feasible from that close, just keep them simple (and low). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glockmeister Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Thank you all for the ideas.next sparring session, I will punch enough until I can get some distance.I would use some judo, but we only do that on the mats and not duringTKD sparring and neither can I use the Aikido unless I'm on the mats or training in self defence. We sparr with no contact I don't likeno contact Normally, I would say use some short,stiff jabs and some uppercuts when in close. I normally welcome closer in fighting myself since I tend to be a bit on the shorter side and most taller people can take me apart with their legs at longer ranges. However, if you use "no-contact" sparring, I am not sure what to say since if someone knows they are not going to get hit, they are harder to "fight off" since you aren't actually landing anything. I have never done no contact sparring so it's kind of a strange concept to me. I don't really see it's use. "You know the best thing about pain?

ki master Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 try muay thai it is very effective and with enough power deadly. "Now the valiant can fight; the cautious can defend, and the wise counsel.

Ironberg Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Elbows, knee strikes, head butts...Heck, when I was first in TKD, these were taught. They weren't taught in a sparring sense, but they were taught. I'm not muay thai fighter in my kickboxing bouts, but still...Normally, I'd discourage headbutts since a slip-up can mean your own nose.

Ironberg Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 in taijutsu our kicks are weird cause our chamber isnt a chamber (its hard to explian with type) but we have the equvilant to a sucker punch with kick where you kick like playing Hacky sack and the whole leg can be used to kick even the kneeCool! Kind of like knee-stamps, knee-twisted hook kicks, and cock-eyed sidekicks but in a more deceptive, low-kicking sense?

kikr Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Use lateral movements not linear, moving backwards can set you up for your opponent to use more powerful kicks. Look at your opponents stance, is it a classic backstance...left leg forward right leg back...move laterally outside his power zone, to the outside of his lead leg. Done quickly it closes his attack options and opens you up for front leg kicks to his head and body in the front, and back leg kicks to his back. Speed and flexibility are the keys. Good luck!

LiTtLeDrAgOn Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Create angles...If your quick try moving to the side if your oppent is coming straight at you and then that should leave some room for kicking. But, you'd have to time it correctly. (Thats the only thing I can think of) A wise man once said..."Courage is not the abstinence of fear. It is what is done when the emotion of fear is present....That is courage my friend" -Jordan Galendiez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
