Hobbes Posted February 12, 2006 Posted February 12, 2006 If you were to describe yourself, what type of fighter are you with regards to preferences, tactics, strategy etc...
Menjo Posted February 12, 2006 Posted February 12, 2006 If you were to describe yourself, what type of fighter are you with regards to preferences, tactics, strategy etc...I don't know myself(in regards to fighting tatics and goals), but I'd certainly like to find out and I intend to. However for now, how did you find out what type of fighter you are? "Time is what we want most, but what we use worst"William Penn
Hobbes Posted February 12, 2006 Author Posted February 12, 2006 Hmmm... partly from opinions of trusted others, and looking for patterns in video footage of matches I've been in as well as general class training. Counting the number of times I prefer certain sequences ect.. how often I like to get close to my opponent for a take down, arm lock and so on. I don't have enough footage to make a real assessment, but I have to agree with the results as surprising as some may be. We all do things out of habit so video is a really good tool.

I just wish I had more experiance to look back upon.And to follow up, what is your conclusion to your thoughts about this topic? "Time is what we want most, but what we use worst"William Penn
Hobbes Posted February 12, 2006 Author Posted February 12, 2006 I've done a fair amount of sports analysis, especially with some of the new cameras where you can slow it down significantly. To look at energy expenditures and general performance patterns a basic miniDV camera works really well. For high speed analyis I use the Basler A600 monochrome with a firewire enabled laptop. Some basic set up allows you to calculate velocities with markers but mostly just being able to see what's happening is a major step forward.Unfortunately normal cameras don't capture images fast enough to give you really clear pictures of high speed motions.Check out the camera at http://www.baslerweb.com/produkte/produkte_en_1455.php
Killer Miller Posted February 12, 2006 Posted February 12, 2006 Let's see. Since I don't fight, I guess the style would be to kill... Or, are you talking about Kumite in tournaments and such??? Then it's a whole nother story! - Killer - Mizu No KokoroShodan - Nishiyama SenseiTable Tennis: http://www.jmblades.com/Auto Weblog: http://appliedauto.mypunbb.com/Auto Forum: http://appauto.wordpress.com/
Hobbes Posted February 12, 2006 Author Posted February 12, 2006 I mean, look at what ever you have. Obviously we can't evaluate elbows with 99% of the footage... I would run out of partners really fast.. mostly because they would stay away lol.

Killer Miller Posted February 12, 2006 Posted February 12, 2006 A little word play humor there - and perhaps a small point about the use of words when asking a question.
