NinTai Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Please stop bouncing.A large amount of energy is spent bouncing, and on the tape you can seea definite rythm:move backbounce 2-3 timesstutter steptechnique"you fight like you train" I believe was the quote. Too early in the morning? Get up and train.Cold and wet outside? Go train.Tired? Weary of the whole journey and longing just for a moment to stop and rest? Train. ~ Dave Lowry Why do we fall, sir? So that we may learn how to pick ourselves back up. ~ Alfred Pennyworth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the bouncing is nothing wrong with in pointkarate ? Watch any competation and you will see it. For one you could watch the world championships in finland 2006. https://www.realistic-martial-arts.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just understand that thats a habit that your going to have to break if youdecide to move beyond playing "tag". Too early in the morning? Get up and train.Cold and wet outside? Go train.Tired?

gzk Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 With your round kick, try starting it higher than your target, then slice downward through your target. You'll do more damage that way.With your front kick, it looks like you're flicking rather than thrusting. You should be trying to shove the guy through the back wall with the sole of your foot.

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...

Good point, Baron. However, repeat-kicking like that can help leg strength, and can be useful in point sparring (for those that do point spar). https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sohan Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I think you look great for a yellow belt who's only studied six months. I do agree that you need to cut out the bouncing and keep your guard up for real fighting, though you are correct that bouncing can be advantageous for point sparring. Just don't be so predictable with your rhythms. Also, work on the speed and sharpness of your spinning back kick--I think it could be seen and blocked or evaded rather easily.I was quite impressed that you rotated well on your supporting foot. Too many beginners just don't get that correctly. Keep up the good work.With respect,Sohan "If I cannot become one of extraordinary accomplishment, I will not walk the earth."
