BladeLee Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 Alright, this is a rather odd topic but, it is getting me very nervous so i figured maybe i could get some insight here. Ok, i have a tournament this sunday and along with kumite, i have to do self-defense, not only for myself, but 6 other people. I have 5 days to learn their self-defense, and they are between 6-10 techniques each. To some this maybe easy, but i just have trouble remembering them all. I have been in this situation before, and had 2 weeks to remember them, and i went over them for 45 minutes 5 days a week, but I still messed up the day the tournament came. Only 2 of these self-defenses are in a black-belt division, but that really doesnt mean much i guess . Anyhow, maybe someone else has been in this situation and knows what do to or how to remember em. I'm getting to frustrated and tense about this, and i dont get like that about many things so =\. Anyhow thanks alot ~BladeLee~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G95champ Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 Well I have never saw a SD event in a tourny. However as far as nerves go just relax and react. If you do that everything else will take care of itself. (General George S. Patton Jr.) "It's the unconquerable soul of man, and not the nature of the weapon he uses, that ensures victory."

SBN Doug Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 We have self defense routines at our tourneyments. However, I would never commit to performing with that many partners. Unless you're talking about all six are in the same self defense routine. Even if it is all one routine, 5 days is not enough time to become proficient. I would suggest a couple of them not use you, and use each other, so everyone has more time to practice. 5 days + 6 partners + 10 techniques = less than satisfying performance Kuk Sool Won - 4th danEvil triumphs when good men do nothing.

BladeLee Posted October 16, 2002 Author Share Posted October 16, 2002 yep =\ its 6 different self defenses totally. We had a prior blackbelt that could do these things great, he would go over them once and would know them perfectly within a week, even if he had 10 to do. But...im not him and i have alot of trouble doing this =\. Anyhow, i dont have a choice though lol, i wish they would use other people instead of just me, that would be a great idea but =\ oh well. Anyhow ill tell you guys how this thing goes on monday. and thanks for the replies! ~BladeLee~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BladeLee Posted October 21, 2002 Author Share Posted October 21, 2002 alright well im back and the self defenses went pretty good actually. Out of 5 i believe 2 1st 3 2nd and 1 3rd. But unfortunatly, my black belt fight didn't go so well heh. I have been training for strength so much lately, that i have cut back on cardio(and ultimately speed training) to gain a bit of fat to help in muscle growth. Anyhow, i deserved the loss and it was a bit of an awakening, i see the loss as helping me to analyze myself and deteremine what i need to work on. So back to more speed training for me ill use alot of my old techniques/regimines i guess, and if anyone wants to suggest any themselves, then thank you! (btw this if for all types of speed- i.e. footwork, alteration, blah blah) Thanks again guys!!!!! ~BladeLee~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
