shotokanbeginner Posted May 18, 2006 Author Share Posted May 18, 2006 Striking on an incoming takedown attempt is a large gamble' date=' simply because you have to knock your opponent unconcious with one big shot, which experience has shown doesnt happen very often. In the event that you dont knock your opponent out, his momentum will still allow him to get in and penetrate your base, at which point you need a grappling solution (sprawl) for a grappling problem (shot).[/quote'] I agree with what menjo wrote on this one if someone is coming in for a takedown you can stop them if you see it coming. Your right about the whole favouring striking thing but it makes me almost somewhat mad the way you say some of these things, but oh well. everyone has fear, but it is when we let it overcome us that we losesoft, hard, slow, fast components of kata Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
