FangPwnsAll7 Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 Thanks for the responses. The red belt is tehe last GUP belt. Then it's a blue belt (pretest) , then black. I do not think we are sparring though since it is so close to the belt test. I will keep these things in mind at the grading.

Lupin1 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 As a brown belt (which is our equivalent of your red belt), if I ever got caught taunting an orange belt, my instructor would murder me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FangPwnsAll7 Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 I did some sparring today for 10 lminutes. I tried some back kicks and others. I won most of the time Tang Soo Do - Red Belt (2nd GUP) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksoul Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I'm late on this, but hopefully not too late. All these back kicks/roundhouses/jumping/flashy kicks are no good for point sparring. They take too long to execute and are super easy to counter. If you're doing point, your focus should be on speed and accuracy. Front kicks, punches. Don't do anything fancy. Just get your strike in there for the point. Hope that helps! Shodan - Shaolin Kempo███████████████▌█ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FangPwnsAll7 Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 Thanks. My grading tomorrow is doing point sparring. I see my opponents doing a lot of front kicks. I think it is because I sometimes accidently put my guard down when I kick? I'll do the front kicks and punches.

FangPwnsAll7 Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share Posted March 9, 2013 It was good. I passed my grading and I recieved my green belt today. The next few weeks, we are sparring every class. Hopefully I'll improve in that time Tang Soo Do - Red Belt (2nd GUP) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
