marie curie Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 I use bouncing (low, not actually leaving the ground with both feet at any time) usually a ways into a fight, when we are both tired- It usually annoys/psychs the opponent a bit as they are tired and just want to get in and out, and it helps builds my adrenalin back up.Again this is only in the condition that I'm in war with the other person and can use it as a tool.also- if the other person bounces, I don't. You suck-train harder.......................Don't block with your faceA good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving. -Lao Tzu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyo1991 Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 i have found that bouncing from front to back foot makes them a little afraid cuz they think your coming, but if you go strait up, its a complete energy drainer...

bushido_man96 Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 well i dont mean go too far forward then you could lose your balance...Its not about losing your balance, but about being timed by the opponent. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyo1991 Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 i could see that happening, what if you change your timing so they cant guess, dont jump to a beat? "ok, well i must warn you, im an orange belt on karateforums!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baronbvp Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Or stop bouncing. Save your energy. Only as good as I make myself be, only as bad as I let myself be.Martial arts are like kinetic chess. Your move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushido_man96 Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Or stop bouncing. Save your energy.What about shuffling around? Do you think that is worth the energy? I don't think that it would use as much as bouncing, and it helps with evasiveness more. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baronbvp Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Definitely. You don't want to be a lead foot, but rather light on your feet. I think when you see a good fighter who is light on his (or her) feet and has great footwork, they rarely if ever bounce. This is especially true if they train for long matches and don't assume the fight will end in one minute. Only as good as I make myself be, only as bad as I let myself be.Martial arts are like kinetic chess. Your move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushido_man96 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Good stuff. The other night in class, I worked on some stepping during sparring, and it worked to kind of throw off my partners a little bit. I also usually fight southpaw, but have been switching more recently, to really throw people off. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
