Ali Posted February 21, 2003 Posted February 21, 2003 Hi, everybody. I am new here I am curious if anyone here do weapon sparring., i.e. use weapon to do free-fight and not just practise form or kata Thanks! Darkness grants me pair of dark black eye,Yet I determine to look for Brightness
Tobias_Reece Posted February 21, 2003 Posted February 21, 2003 We base ourselves very much like Shotokan - one hit to end the fight (however unrealised you may think it is) We do a lot of 1 and 2 step, but I'm trying to impliment some free fighting (staffs is easy[relatively speaking], its the zai that I want to people to develop skills in) "You Are Never Given A Dream Without Also Being Given The Power To Make It True.

SBN Doug Posted February 21, 2003 Posted February 21, 2003 We do pre-arranged sparring with any number of combinations of our weapons. No official free-sparring, but the strikes are real and the speed is full (after a lot of practice). Staff, short sticks, sword, short sword, fan, cane, rope, spear, etc. Kuk Sool Won - 4th danEvil triumphs when good men do nothing.
Ali Posted February 22, 2003 Author Posted February 22, 2003 Thank you all reply! I need to say sorry for my bad English first. Hope you can understand what I said. I am not an expert in weapon. And just learning some japanese sword in akido and Chinese spear. But this is lucky enough that I met a friend who gathered group of people, holding some "fake" weapon but with same weight and balancing and have sparring. He made Japanese sword, Chinese blade, spear and so on. This is funny Hi! Jerry What weapon you take??? Real one or "faked one" Tobias_Reece I and 2 step, you mean defense and attack? Zai? Is it folk-like japanese weapon? KSN Doug Wow! Where you lived??? Zero, Nice to meet you Darkness grants me pair of dark black eye,Yet I determine to look for Brightness

Tobias_Reece Posted February 22, 2003 Posted February 22, 2003 Your English is pretty damn good You may know 1 step as "Ippon Kihon Kumite". Two people face each other is a fighting stance and one attacks. The other person defends and counters. Thats it. No more.

Ali Posted February 23, 2003 Author Posted February 23, 2003 Hi, Tobias_Reece Thank you. Do you know your Kumite is from which ancient Japanese school? Hello, Andrew. Wow, I see your website. I think we doing similar thing. Only difference is we would take Chinese sword vs Japanese sword, Spear vs Double Chinese blades and so on. Longer the weapon is; the safer the person is.
