white owl Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Keep your cool, stay focus, and don't think to much meaning let the techniques flow. thats some of the pointers gaven to me.
Killer Miller Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Sparring is really the Test of what you have already learned. If you know it when you spar, you will naturally and properly react. If you don't know it, you will have a tough time with it...There are many, many sparring techniques to learn - that takes hours and hours of practice to acquire and write into muscle memmory. So any tips to be offered, with the exception of a specific sparring problem you are having, woudldn't be too beneficial at this point. The only tip I can offer is to relax and apply what you have already learned to this point...- Killer - Mizu No KokoroShodan - Nishiyama SenseiTable Tennis: http://www.jmblades.com/Auto Weblog: http://appliedauto.mypunbb.com/Auto Forum: http://appauto.wordpress.com/
straightblast Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 Work on combos, they may see the first 2 techniques but it could be the 3,4,5 that get them. Take the techniques that you like or are good at and create your own. For instance I like to do a front kick, jab, cross, inside round kick, kinda like low, high,high,low it keeps them guessing.

bushido_man96 Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 Know the rules and the target areas, and build from there. When you do throw a technique, commit to it. Don't second guess yourself. If you get hit, that is ok; that is how you learn. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
cross Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 Excellent advice from everyone so far. One thing i will add is:Keep it simple.... Dont try and do to much when your just starting out. Focus on a couple of specific goals in each sparring session.For example, for one session you could focus on working your straight punches, then the next do circular techniques, then work defense and countering off your defense. Breaking it down to begin with makes it alot easier, and you have plenty of time to mix things up later on.
dmacdonal9 Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 I like using a quick maegeri on the lead leg when the opponent is close. People don't expect kicks then, but you can make it work with the lead leg, just snap the knee up nice and high first . It's very quick and people are often surprised. Catch 'em just as they're disengaging, they're not well prepared then.
NewEnglands_KyoSa Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 try not to go north to south, it limits your opportunities to ever follow up and retreating can only hurt you. instead try to move in circles, it makes it much easier to block and counter. also, unless you are fighting a blind folded partner you won't score on the first strike so whatever you do, double up! and find combos you are comfortable with, theres a million of them, adapt three and make them your own and you'll be fine!
