we do blindfolded kata and ocassionally a type of sparing... One dude stands in the middle of a circle and everyone else stands around him... The other people are given numbers and when the instructor puts his fingers up showing a certain number that person attacks and the dude in the centre mys listen for him (and feel floor vibrations if their good) to block the strike and counter... Great for praticing using your other senses :)

Given enough time, any man may master the physical. With enough knowledge, any man may become wise. It is the true warrior who can master both....and surpass the result.

We've sparred blindfolded, which was very hard for someone who has no clue how to use all other senses lol

I personally have only tried doing blindfolded "breaks" ... never sparring or kata/forms. I would imagine escapes from grabs, sticking hands type drills, and ground fighting drills would work well with blindfold training..... (however in our TKD school we don't do these).

 

I would think that it would develop your confidence level more .... if you can defend yourself blindfolded, then you should feel even more confidence in your technique when not blindfolded.

Did some katas while "blind". It was great. I feel very comfortable when all I see is black ... It was interesting.

 

And we did some exercises. And they thought I cheated. Well I didn't. I just felt the other person, almost smelled her, heard her breath ... Without the possibility of seeing I tried to complement my perception with the other senses. It really worked :)
