DavyKOTWF Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 Next week will do my first kumite practice and every class from then on in my new 'style'. (I started all over again as a white belt) Should I lay back and just dodge everything, guage how he tries to strike, geta sense of his attacks and again dodge everything? THEN at some point throw in my own strike? Is this a good strategy? Thanks for any input. Be Water My Friend
JR 137 Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 I'd say get a feel for the different sparring partners. Don't go all out offensively nor defensively. The new guy trying to show everyone up is never a good vibe to put out (not that I think that's what you'll try to do).Observe all rules, get a feel for everyone's individual comfort zone for contact, and stick to the basics. It's a marathon, not a sprint. It's training, not competition.
sensei8 Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 You should do exactly what your instructor directs you to do! After all, it's your first Kumite session, and you are there to learn...right?! **Proof is on the floor!!!
