bushido_man96 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I agree with DWx, speed is going to be paramount (that's why I always hated that style of sparring). Another issue to consider is that the technique may not have to be "clean" to get a point. If you parry a punch or backfist well enough to lighten the blow, but it still grazes you, it may still count as a point. So be sure your blocks and movements are good enough to keep you from getting grazed. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammer Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Agree with what others have said about speed.I never did well in point sparring (lack of speed and too much thinking), but one other thing I have noticed with people who do well in point sparring is that they eliminate any "tells". Since speed is king, any signals of an attack will give a decent opponent a chance to defend and counter. This also applies to continuous sparring but is even more important in point sparring.
