Stevo Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 Hey i'm new hear i have about 6 years M.A. experience and i was invited by someone who lives in my city on another internet forum to come and spar him i think this is a good idea never done anything like this before (as in fighting people outside club tournament or as must on street) just wondering bout your opininons should i go alone bring a friend for moral support? any imput is welcome
Tombstone Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 definately bring someone. remember that this IS the internet and thousands are harmed by stuff like this every year. and make sure someone knows where your going and when you'll be back.
jiu-jitsu fighter Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 why is this even a discussion of course you should bring someone , what if this guy is a wacko? "When we go to the ground,you are in my world, the ground is the ocean, I am the shark,and most people don't even know how to swim"
monkeygirl Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 Bring a friend and your self-defense training If you can, find out what dojo this person is from, if he currently has one. Get a phone number for it, and ask them if they have a student by that name. If he freaks out that you're taking these precautions, that's a bad sign. He should be understanding and cooperative. Good luck and be careful 1st dan & Asst. Instructor TKD 2000-2003No matter the tune...if you can rock it, rock it hard.
Stevo Posted February 26, 2003 Author Posted February 26, 2003 the guy told me where he trained and i gave me a link to the website so it looks legit don't know if he goes there...... I'm not gonna give out any information about myself over the internet like where i train and what school i go to and stuff which is what he asked P.S. I'll bring a big friend and thnx for not making me feel like iam paranoid
G95champ Posted February 27, 2003 Posted February 27, 2003 I don't know if it looks like a good club I don't see what real harm it could do. However if he wants to meet you in the street well then stay in the car. LOL. I think I would meet him fist. Maybe just stop by his club and watch classes and get to know him. When you cross styles you run into problems when sparring. Some don't teach leg kicks other do, some don't throw others do, When grappeling some usee PP others don't. Bottom line its a good idea to know who you going to train with. However finding sparring partners on line is not a good idea. IMO. (General George S. Patton Jr.) "It's the unconquerable soul of man, and not the nature of the weapon he uses, that ensures victory."
