judobrah Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 i saw a video today (cant give a link,on my psp) of a tkd red belt vs a white belt (they were bout preety god, the competition was on south korea i think) anyway the red belt feints a right hook and gives a straight punch to the head followed by a head kick ending the fight,and i just keep wondering what is exactly the level of confidence and skills on this individuals?i mean you see masters,senseis,extremely good fighters ending fights with head kicks,one punches ko and even spinning kicks,will continue..
judobrah Posted January 3, 2012 Author Posted January 3, 2012 i mean how come this individuals can even lose lets say a fight on the street(not suporting street fights) i mean they are just that damm god,how is exactly the level of confidence on this individuals,i am refering to guys that trained for decades,3 dans e.t.c,trained in REAL dojos
judobrah Posted January 3, 2012 Author Posted January 3, 2012 i will give an example lets say there is this men,is 36 and has been training since he was 15,he is a 3 dan in ky karate,a 4 dan in itf taekwondo and also a 2 dan in judo,how confident will this guy be? i mean seriously,lets say this guy also competed in kickboxing tournaments and has an amazing condition,i means his skills and confidence will be amazing
Zaine Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 Any martial artist gains confidence as they train. The confidence isn't in their skill as a martial artist, it's confidence in themselves. One of the most amazing things that any martial art does is bestow confidence in oneself for those who are willing to stick with it. Martial arts training is 30% classroom training, 70% solo training.https://www.instagram.com/nordic_karate/

JusticeZero Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 I hesitate to put a number or anything like that on it..Related question: Someone trains for a year, how strong will they be at the end of the year? And I can't tell you if they started their training as a 90 pound, 4 foot tall woman, a football linebacker looking to crosstrain, or a 400 pound couch potato trying to lose weight. Obviously you can't put a good answer on it, because the people involved are so very different. Plus, "confidence" is not exactly an easily quantifiable trait. Finally, it isn't entirely a meaningful trait. Either you have it, or you don't, or you have too much of it and will probably annoy people until you finally are brought down in a spectacular, hubris-driven epic fail. And all three are still able to perform just fine.They still come in and watch their performance and see lots of things they need to work on. The only change is that the peers that are at their level are much more rarified. "Anything worth doing is worth doing badly." - Baleia
bushido_man96 Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 I agree that its hard to quantify confidence. Someone can train and compete all their lives, but not have confidence in the chaotic environment of a street fight. Some people may not train in MA at all, and have great confidence in a fight. Everyone is different. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
Zaine Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) I am also talking about skill, but it isnt the confidence of an average m.a its the confidence of someone that has learn a style(s) at his fullestI'm not quite sure what you're trying to say here, but from what I get there is not difference in what you're saying from what I am.

judobrah Posted January 4, 2012 Author Posted January 4, 2012 i am talking about skill,lets say a guy with the credentials that i described earlier,lets say he meats an atacker he procedes to give a front kick that he has practised 1000 times(sparring,drills e.t.c) what are the exactly odds of that kick work?i mean hes confidence will be high frow all off his training,but at what level is that guy skill at?can you get the picture?it will depend on the person,but at that kinda level of training what can you expect?think about it this way,if bas rutten meet an atacker
