karatekid1975 Posted December 30, 2002 Share Posted December 30, 2002 It's ok, Cheeky. Nobody starts out "knowing" how to spar. It takes time and practice. Since everyone in your class works with you, ask them for tips on sparring. Most higher ranks would be glad to help. Laurie F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironberg Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 I hate it when a certain blackbelt does the warm-ups. He has not the faintest clue what a real pushup is even though I talk about it all the time with my friends. He is young (pre-teen), and demands that we do at least 75 "pushups" + everything else. I have no choice but to sweat out the first 60, and come up with the remaining 15 sometime later (with my nose millimeters away from the ground at every rep). The best way for me to describe his push-ups are "neck-ups". He is also a mortally short dipstick that I try not to step on when I spar him. Other than that, I hate it when people fart while doing "back elevated leg raisers".
