Fighting


Recommended Posts

everybody should try this, spar with no blocking at all, force yourself not to block(i guess it's ok if you block on reverse punch to avoid a knock out), just evading and counter moves. you do that for a while and see the difference,

That is an interesting one, P.A.L. It would teach you to move, that is for sure.

exactly,i learned things which help me a lot

1- i wouldn't close my eyes when i get punched like before and i can disengage more effectively,

2- i learned to move under a jab quickly to 45 and come up for a heavy punch to the side of the head

3- i learned to move under a jab to 45 and stick a counter jab from under to the chin.

4- my penny droped that i can't win without getting hit at all and blocking doesn't solve the problem.

we've done the no blocking drill several times, its really good. if you can get to do this at your dojo its great for developing offensiveness.

"Gently return to the simple physical sensation of the breath. Then do it again, and again, and again. Somewhere in this process, you will come face-to-face with the sudden and shocking realization that you are completely crazy. Your mind is a shrieking, gibbering madhouse on wheels." - ven. henepola gunaratana

Yeah this all sounds very interesting. I think if i remember right we did something silimar in class. It was very good and got you moving quickly on your feet. This is all great advice, thanks everyone.

Don't think about "blocking". Think about attacking. Work on your own on attacks that begin out of a defense, and force yourself to focus on those. Keep your own score. "I defend and don't counter or use the defense to better my position (successfully or not): -1 point. I stand in a stance (thus, defensive) waiting for 3 seconds or more: -1 point"
